Delighted that student Judy Cunnane has been invited to join @national_performance_awards next month in Belfast!!
So are all so proud of you Judy and cannot wait to hear all about it 😍😍 Judy is an extremely hard work and such a talented Young girl, so we have no doubt they will love watching her perform as much as we do 🥰⭐️ #student #talent #singer
A massive congrats to past student @aislingtierney0 on her graduation show from @performerscollege 🤩⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We are so proud of you Aisling! Getting to see you being an absolute superstar on the stage tonight was a dream!!! We cannot believe that you are finished college already 🥹 We are forever proud of you and cannot wait to see what is next for you!! The proudest teachers in the world 😍

More amazing news 🥹🥹
The incredibly talented @emmah.008 has received multiple college options but we are delighted that she has chosen to study at @danceboxstudios 😍😍😍 After meeting Dance Box at @moveitshow we know that this is an incredible Dance College for Emma 🥰
Emma is one of the most dedicated dancers we know!! 2.5 years ago, Emma arrived to KNC with an open mind, and an infectious passion for Dance!! Emma not only has been on our Elite dance teams for the past 2.5 years, but she also has made massive sacrifices for her dance career—— Emma travels almost 3 hours each side of her classes from Mayo to get to KNC twice a week!!! Now if that’s not dedication, we don’t know what is!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Emma has performed with us at @disneylandparis@moveitshow@performfestival and multiple dance competitions!! She is the kindest girl, with an amazing career ahead of her. We are so privileged that Emma choose KNC to be her dance home for the past few years, and although we will miss seeing her every week, we are soooo proud of her, and cannot wait to follow her journey in the amazing hands of DanceBox 🥹🥰🤩 We will forever be your biggest fans Emma, and we will always be here to support you whenever you need us 💖
What an evening ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
When the show cannot go ahead as planned you make it happen either way!!! And we are just the proudest teachers in the world. Performing for just a panel of experts and not a full audience can be daunting, but my god did these little superstars Deliver 🥰 We are so proud of each and every one of you for always giving it 100% and for always working together like a big team!!

And a massive thank you to @allireland_varietyshow Ben for your continued support!! Although we couldn’t be on the convention centre stage tonight as planned, without you guys, we wouldn’t be putting on these productions, and getting to have all our superstars share the stage as one big team 🥰🤩
The studio walls were shaking from the volume of vocals, and passion that our 89 stars put into tonight’s performance, and we are certainly going to remember tonight’s performance for a long long time!! #proud #stars #show
