WOW!! WOW!! STEPPING OUT SUPERSTARS!

I am delirious with a combination of exhaustion & joy! We are only Day 2 into competition and we couldn't be prouder of our Stepping Out Superstars! Every time my phone beeps it is with news of more fantastic results! We have had a strong contingent of Stepping Out supporters in the audience and it has been a pleasure to watch so many of our talented little dancers take to the stage for the very first time in solo competition. Miss Emma and I could not be prouder ( I think the tears today proved it! Miss Leesa has been keeping tabs on you all with text updates!) The results are outstanding but as a proud audience member, the real success has been derived from the smiles on performers faces, the blossoming confidence, the team spirit and support by Stepping Out families and students. Miss Emma and I are in awe of you all.( parents & kids!!)WELL DONE EVERYONE! WE LOVE YOU!
