SAIBC Day 2 - Classical Variations –
Scholar Section

What a beautiful moment watching Hlotse, Zara and Karmien take to the stage and perform their classical variations in the Scholar Section at the 13th SAIBC. 🩰✨

Watching them grow in confidence and maturity as dancers is such a privilege. ❤️

We are incredibly proud of all three of you! Keep dancing, keep learning and, most importantly, keep enjoying every moment of this beautiful journey. 🌸🩰

Well done, girls! 👏✨

I came across this precious photo of Zara and Karmien when they were just Tiny Tots, doing their very first Acro exam together with Fun Dance Company . 🥹💗
And now, years later, they get to share the beautiful journey of ballet together — growing, learning, performing and making memories side by side. 🩰✨
It’s such a beautiful thing to watch these little girls grow up together through dance. From those tiny first steps to where they are today… what a journey it has been! ❤️
Here’s to many more years of friendship, dancing and making memories together. 🌸🩰✨
