2018 Kids Artistic Revue in Sydney
Another great weekend at KAR Dance competition in Sydney! The Sydney Kids Artistic Revue featured hundreds of entries over three days of competition. On Sunday night, 15 finalists were selected amongst the groups in the 13 years old and under age category. We had 3 finalists: one small group in the Elite level, a large group in the Elite level and a large group in the Rising Stars level. We are thrilled that our Rising Stars large group took out the regional championship with "Tribal Dance"! No other single studio had three finalists, so we are extremely proud of these results. Also, our soloists did extremely well and LIKE DANCE STUDIO took out the regional title Miss Petite with "Somewhere only we know", regional title Mr. Juniour with "Tell me why" and national title Mr. Junior with "Radioacive"! Congratulations to our Milena, Oliver and Daniel and we hope to see Daniel in the national finals in the USA in 2019!
2018 VIEW Dance Challenge in Newcastle
To say we had a great day at VIEW Dance Challenge in Newcastle, is to say nothing at all.
We achieved a top scoring small group performance of the competition with "I'm Like a Bird", a top scoring large group performance of the competition with "Life at Podium", a top scoring duo/trio of the competition with "Trouble Maker", top junior performance with "Tell me Why", and top petite performance with "Somewhere Only We Know". Our studio was crowned Top Studio of the competition, based on the top 10 scores achieved by each studio!
However, the real highlight was bringing 30 kids from Sydney to Newcastle in such an organized fashion, supporting each other in so many ways through this exhausting day, dancing from 8 am to 9 pm, some of us with fever, some with injuries, showing great sportsmanship and endurance sharing unforgettable moments, with both laughs and tears. Love being behind the scenes with all these superstars and witnessing all the encouragements, cheering, hugs, holding hands and pats on the backs the kids and families give each other. This win is by all of us, all teachers, parents, dancers who are part of what makesย L.I.K.E. Danceย such a special place and such a powerhouse on the competitive stage.
THANK YOU ALL, let's celebrate each and every win, each improvement, each breakthrough, big and small, learn from every experience and keep working hard.
