"I had the most incredible time at National Finals, it was so much fun! Gala night was literally the best vibe. The judges, the staff and all of the people supporting, it was so amazing to see our dance community come together. I couldn’t be more grateful for Issy and Elly Meyers, thank you for running such an incredible comp. The prizes I received were absolutely insane! I am so excited to do my handover next year and celebrate the next National Champion. Thank you Carnival!"

"I am so honoured to be Carnival's 14u Age Champion. It was an amazing week of dancing & friendship at Carnival Nationals - and can we just take a moment to appreciate the INSANE and very generous gifts received. Thank you Elly and Issy for running the best comp. I feel so spoilt. Much love, Lara xoxo"

"The first Carnival National Finals was one of the most memorable finals that I have ever been to! The atmosphere was so positive and fun, and the vibes everywhere were truly one of a kind. The APEX Workshops were such an incredible experience! I learned so much from the teachers and was challenged in ways that pushed me out of my comfort zone. Every class helped me grow not only as a dancer, but also in confidence and performance quality. Being surrounded by so many talented dancers was so inspiring, and it motivated me to work even harder. The energy backstage and in the audience was electric, and you could really feel how supportive everyone was. I’m so grateful to have been part of such an amazing event, and I can’t wait to be back again!"

"I had such a wonderful experience at Carnival Nationals with all my friends from Elite Performance Studios and other incredible studios. So grateful for the memories we made!"

"Being the 4U National Champion at Carnival Dance Challenge is a really big title for a very tiny me! (And the trophy too — I still need to grow a little before I’m the same height as it! ) But it goes far beyond the win, the stage lights and applause — rhythm has been part of me since I could crawl, and dancing followed the moment I could walk. It’s in my heart, in my soul, in every beat that moves me. This title hasn’t just celebrated a moment; it’s confirmed that dance is where I belong and fuelled my passion even more. I’m dreaming bigger, working harder, and this is only the beginning of my story. To Lilly Smithers and my Elite Performance family, none of this would have been possible without you! Thank you, Carnival Dance Challenge, for a memory I’ll treasure forever!"
