🔥🌟 WHAT A JOURNEY! WAKAKIRRI 2026🌟🔥

What an exhilarating, exciting and incredibly PROUD experience for our IGNITE – BAM Dance family! ❤️

On Monday 17th August, our dancers took to the Wakakirri stage with “Awakening the Guardians Within” — and they absolutely SMASHED IT! 🔥

From rehearsals and backstage excitement to stepping onto that stage, every dancer brought their own personality, energy and emotion to our story. Months of hard work, commitment, creativity and teamwork came together in one very special performance.

And what a result! 🏆✨

On the night, only two awards were presented and we were incredibly proud to receive:

❤️🏆 THE SPIRIT OF WAKAKIRRI AWARD!

We then discovered our performance had received another FIVE Show Awards:

🏆 Storytelling Award – Great Minimalist Production Style
🏆 Ensemble Award – Well-Performed Rehearsal
🏆 Production Award – Overall Staging
🏆 Creative Production Award – Overall Costume Design
🏆 Storytelling Award – Story Theme and Concept

✨ SIX AWARDS IN TOTAL! ✨

To my amazing dancers — THANK YOU for trusting the vision, working so hard, supporting one another and bringing our story to life. ❤️ And a huge thank you to our families, support workers, volunteers and everyone who helped make this experience possible.

But there is MORE… 🔥🔥🔥

We are incredibly excited to announce that IGNITE – BAM Dance has been nominated for a NATIONAL AWARD! 🇦🇺🏆

AND we have been invited back to perform “Awakening the Guardians Within” again on Wednesday 9th September! 🎭✨

Whatever happens next, I couldn't be prouder. These dancers showed exactly what can happen when people of all abilities are given the opportunity to belong, express themselves and SHINE. 🌟

And together, they truly AWAKENED THE GUARDIANS WITHIN.❤️🔥

WE SUPPORT. WE DANCE. WE CREATE. YOU EVOLVE.

🧰 TOOLBOX TUESDAY🧰

We all have tools we can use to help us navigate life — sometimes we just need to remember they’re already there. ✨

A positive mindset, taking a moment to breathe, setting priorities, moving our bodies, practising gratitude or reaching out for support can all make a difference. 💜

Small tools create daily changes, and daily changes can lead to big growth. 🌱

Sunday is your reminder to pause, reset and refill your cup.🌿✨
