Short Sweet + Dance is over for another year. A huge congratulations goes to all the choreographers and performers who participated in this year’s festival. DanceLife saw a few performances and was blown away by not only the talent but the diversity of concepts. The festival allows choreographers from any style of dance to be engaged and have their work shown. SS+D keeps growing each year due to the hard work and dedication of the team that works on this project. A big pat on the back goes to Festival Director Olivia Ansell and Coordinator Heath Badlwin who have successfully put on another great season. Now onto the awards…
