Kirsten's Dance Academy

Tonight was Miss Stacey’s final classes at the studio, and it’s hard to put into words just how much she’ll be missed 🥺❤️

Thank you for the passion, dedication, encouragement, insane choreography and countless memories you’ve given to every dancer who’s had the privilege of learning from you. You’ve inspired so many and your impact will stay with us for years to come.

This isn’t quite goodbye yet, we have one more adventure at the Dance World Cup on Friday and then our big Summer Show this weekend. Let’s make every moment count✨

Thank you for everything Stacey 💕 Once part of our KDA family, always part of our KDA family 💕

Wow what a day, what an event! Our first time ever experiencing the Dance World Cup. Was it slightly overwhelming at times? Yes it was but our dancers remained calm and focused and they went out on that world stage and shone so incredibly brightly ⭐️
