INTRODUCING AMBASSADOR - SAOIRSE SANDOCAL-ROCHE
 
Welcome to the team!
 
I am Saoirse. I am 10 years old and I dance @dream.ent.studios in Maddingley, Victoria. I have been dancing for four years and in the elite team at my studio for 3 years. My favourite dance style is hip-hop, but I love all styles too. If I am dancing, my heart is happy.

Last year was difficult, not only with my studio being closed for a large proportion of the year with only very limited online classes for a small part of the lockdown in Victoria, but also because we had planned a trip to the USA to dance on the main stage at Disney, Universal Studios and on Rodeo Drive. Sadly, due to the extended lockdowns and uncertainty with overseas travel, we had to cancel those plans.

I was fortunate to be able to stay positive and motivated with the support of my dance studio and my mum and managed to keep improving my skills.
 
I successfully auditioned for @danceprescription team at the end of last year and am looking forward to a year of incredible growth in my jazz technique with the help of Dr Lisa Ellis and her incredible team.

I am hopeful of being able to attend some dance competitions this year as I definitely missed the performance aspect of dance last year. I was given the opportunity to film a contortion / flexibility based contemporary routine for 2021 Spirit of AASCF recently and it was a great reminder of the excitement and sense of community that going to competitions and performances brings.

INTRODUCING AMBASSADOR - LEILA ANIKA MORALES
 
Welcome to the team!
 
“A journey of a thousand miles begin with a single step.” – Lao Tzu

I am Leila Anika Morales, and I am a 2021 DanceAus Connect Ambassador. I will be turning 12 in August this year. I live in Adelaide and train at GWB Studios. My solo teacher is Ms Briah Victory.

I started doing ballet when I was 3 years old, and my love for dancing just continued to grow so I never stopped. I have been fortunate enough to have fantastic dance teachers, who spend countless hours with me so I can improve a little bit each time.

I am looking forward to being a DanceAus Connect Ambassador this year. I have already met some of the amazing ambassadors - Lexi, Daisy and Hollie – and I am excited to meet the rest.

I have had a memorable start to the year winning the Follow Your Dreams National Championship Dancer for 11 years and under! Next comps for me are Talent Tribe and Get the Beat this March. I will then prepare for the 2021 SA Classical and Contemporary Scholarship Awards in Adelaide that the very talented Jill Ogai will be adjudicating.

I am training towards both my RAD Intermediate Foundation and Grade 6 Exams. I have been working with all my teachers on activating the correct muscles in ballet and bringing my ballet technique into all other styles. I have also been working on picking up choreography quicker in my lyrical and jazz classes and learning different styles of jazz. This year is also the first year that I am doing floor barre and lyrical classes which I both enjoy.

I am tremendously excited for what 2021 will bring!
