Congratulations to all the students who represented their state at the 2025 National Championships in July!
To each of you, and to the ATOD Members and Teachers you should be extremely proud. The accomplishment of making Nationals is a feat in itself and is to be highly celebrated.
The Nationals was an amazing 4 days in which students participated in Unseen Classes and Performances on stage, accounting for 50% each for their adjudicated marks.
Here’s to the many memories formed of fantastic dance moments, beautiful friendships and as always, an abundance of fun!
