DWC 2024 Team CTS
After months of training, hours of rehearsals, fundraising and a lot of sweat and hard-work we are finally ready for DWC 2024 
These kids have worked so hard, committed every hour to train during the weeks and through their holidays. They’ve missed parties, events, associates, family time, juggled Homework, exams and coursework but their dedication has been absolutely awesome and we’re so proud of you all.
Massive thanks to all our sponsors who have very generously donated to the team. We really appreciate your kindness.
Huge thank you to @l_a_dance_x @lois_choreography @jenny_stead_ for beautiful choreography, keeping everything going, drilling endless choreography and keeping me sane! I couldn’t have done it without you.
Huge thank you to all our parents who have been an awesome team and helped each other out with endless sewing, blinging, prop making, fundraising, organising costumes and providing endless cups of coffee as well as everything else!
And finally a huge thanks to the team for your dedication and hard work. It’s been a tough one with so many of you in so many numbers but you’ve got this and we’re forever proud of you.

Mini lyrical and contemporary trios
World champions 94.8%
A new life 
Second year competing together for this little trio @danceworldcup and they performed beautifully.
A complete change from the lyrical trio last year we spent a lot of time in rehearsals talking about the back ground of the piece. It was so important to me that they portrayed realistic characters and believability.
I’m so proud of them. The atmosphere they created and the connection with each other was simply incredible. They really played their characters with a mature approach plus an abundance of technique, quality of movement and performance.
Thank you girls for trusting the process and creating something very special with me. Very proud 
It was definitely worth the vintage hand luggage….

We had so much fun creating this together!
So proud of this Fab Four for smashing it and embracing the concept.
