Celebrating a Year of Excellence

As we wrapped up an incredible year at Dancepointe Academy, we came together for one of our most cherished traditions—the 2024 Year-End TEAMdpa Graduation Ceremony. This special event was a time to reflect on the incredible journey of our dancers, celebrate their achievements, and express our heartfelt gratitude to the parents and teachers who have supported them every step of the way.

Honouring Our Competitors’ Achievements

2024 was a landmark year for TEAMdpa. Our dancers shone on multiple competition stages, from the Hong Kong Challenge Cup Dance Competition (HKCCDC) to the CSTD Asia Pacific Dance Challenge (APDC) and, most recently, the Singapore Challenge Cup Dance Challenge (SCCDC). Their hard work, resilience, and passion brought home numerous awards and accolades, proving once again that dedication and perseverance lead to success.

At the graduation ceremony, we took a moment to honour every TEAMdpa dancer, not just for the medals and trophies but for the countless hours of training, the challenges overcome, and the personal growth achieved. Whether they won gold or simply took the stage for the first time, every competitor was celebrated as champions in their own right.

A Tribute to Our Parent Volunteers

Behind every successful dancer is a village of unwavering support, and our parent volunteers are at the heart of this community. From coordinating travel logistics to cheering on our dancers backstage, these dedicated parents have been instrumental in making every competition and event a smooth and joyful experience.

At the ceremony, we took the opportunity to recognise and appreciate our parent volunteers for their time, energy, and endless encouragement. Their behind-the-scenes efforts often go unnoticed, but we know that without them, TEAMdpa’s journey would not be the same.

Gratitude for Our Teachers and Coaches

Our teachers and coaches are the backbone of TEAMdpa, guiding our dancers with expertise, patience, and passion. This year, their commitment to excellence has been evident in every competition routine, every class, and every rehearsal. They have not only shaped skilled dancers but also instilled in them the values of discipline, teamwork, and perseverance.

During the ceremony, we honoured our dedicated faculty for their tireless mentorship and belief in each and every student. Their role goes far beyond teaching choreography—they are mentors, motivators, and an inspiration to all.

Looking Ahead to 2025

As we bid farewell to an amazing 2024, we step into 2025 with renewed enthusiasm and bigger dreams. With exciting competitions, performances, and training opportunities ahead, we know that TEAMdpa will continue to reach new heights and make unforgettable memories.

To our dancers, parents, and teachers — thank you for making this year extraordinary. Your dedication, passion, and support are what make TEAMdpa a family. Here’s to another year of growth, achievements, and the love of dance!
