We are so proud of the 40 soloists (including 7 first timers!) who represented Team Murray at the 2025 NAIDC in Washington, D.C. With 9 in the top 10 and 13 qualified for the 2026 Worlds. Our dancers represented Team Murray so well with such positivity, teamwork, and of course excellent dancing! We were happy to see their hard work pay off on stage! A big thank you to the families and teaching staff who put in loads of time and effort to make this possible for our dancers
Special thanks to Matthew Ferry @ferryacademy and Joanne Kavanagh @joannekavanaghacademy, our workshop teachers, for treating our dancers like your own. We couldn’t do any of this without you!
