Animal movements, the macarena, forcedecks, jump training & real life animals all feature in some of our term 3 conditioning. Our goal is always to make conditioning as fun and varied as possible - it's way more effective🥰

2026 NOEL BURNETT TAP AWARD WINNER!!! 🏆🤍🎉

Feeling so incredibly lucky and honoured to have received this award!
Having my name on the trophy alongside so many talented people I look up to is such a special feeling, and I’m so grateful for this opportunity!

The biggest thank you to @brandoncarterchan for his amazing choreography and training and @brigid.carterchan for all the time, effort and support you give me. Thank you for helping me achieve this award.

Thank you @meba_ballet for all my additional training, and to Mum
and Dad for everything you do behind the scenes and for always making it possible for me to do what I love. I appreciate you both more than you know! xx 🫶🏻

Congratulations to everyone who competed! A huge thank you to @acds_inc and the Burnett Trust for the generous cash prize.

Thank you @lukealleva for sharing your knowledge and giving me such valuable feedback throughout the competition. And thank you @amlirwnn and @katemcleoddd for coming along to support. Having past winners there watching made it even more special!

So grateful for everyone who has been part of this journey and helped make this possible. What an experience! ❤️🎉

So happy to receive Distinction in both my @radnewzealand Ballet exam and @nzamdnewzealand Jazz exam this year.

A huge thank you to all of my teachers at @meba_ballet 💗especially @bekah_terry_dancer for all of your encouragement and support this year. Moving to a new city and a new studio was definitely scary, but everyone has made me feel so welcome and MEBA now feels like home 🩰✨

This past weekend @finlaylovesballet competed in Australia at @yagp and came away with 3rd place in the junior men’s and women’s category! What an achievement ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Finlay started ballet with us 5 years ago and has grown so much in that time! (Slide to the end to see a very old video of one of his first lessons with me 😂❤️). He now dances with MDS in conjunction with David from @meba_ballet, thanks for your great male expertise!
We can’t wait to see where your career takes you and we will always be supporting from wherever you are in the world! 🥳🫶⭐️
