💭 Ever had a dance that felt like the world disappeared?
That’s what happened to us at @finnfestwcs — three minutes where it felt like nobody else was in the room but us and the music. 🖤

We are freaking in love with this song!

One last Invitational highlight before we close the chapter on SWW2025! 👻✨

Joao Parada @jaoparada and Maddie Skinner @maddzplatts bring our series to a close with a performance that reminds us just how much talent we get to celebrate at SWW. There’s always something worth appreciating when watching these incredible dancers, whose moves spark so much emotion in their audience.

Thanks for revisiting these incredible moments from the Invitational. Very soon, we’ll be looking back at not just our favourite moments, but your SWW memories too! 💜

We can’t wait to make more memories together at SWW2026! 🎃

Group 2 🖤

We absolutely loved creating this piece to “Gone” by @blakerosemusic and even more, seeing everyone bring their own emotions, stories and energy into it. 🥹

There’s something so special about creating a piece that gives people space to feel and express themselves.

Thank you to everyone who made this one so special ❤️
