Accompanying the group was their teacher, Sheona, whose guidance and commitment played a central role in preparing the dancers for the big stage.
She was supported by her mother, Eilish, who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure every costume was perfectly fitted, sewn, and performance-ready.
Despite the scale of the venue and the pressure that comes with performing in front of a large audience, the girls demonstrated remarkable composure and confidence.
