"Fabulous show yesterday and well done to everyone! It was xxxx's last SADPA show last night. Was an emotional evening and it's lovely to see her grow from that mousling in Angelina Ballerina as a Pom Pom 10 years ago at the Regent, to dancing as a Senior. Hopefully other young dancers are inspired by the Seniors as both my girls have been and will grow through the SADPA family to be the new Seniors. Thank you SADPA for the performances over the years.”
