Dancing has a certain beauty and is an art form that speaks straight to the spirit. Additionally, it leaves a lasting impact when done well.
That’s exactly what happened when twelve talented dancers from the senior group of the Whangarei Academy of Dance and Performing Arts (WADPA) in New Zealand entered the stage. Dressed in gorgeous satin white gowns and shimmering headdresses, they looked like ethereal creatures, ready to perform.
But the real magic began as soon as the music began.
The moment Leonard Cohen’s timeless masterpiece, Hallelujah, started to play, the audience was mesmerized. The grace, passion, and precision with which they executed every step and motion demonstrated their diligence and dedication.
This amazing moment was the result of months of training, and it is clear that these young dancers put their hearts and souls into every step.
WADPA has a different approach, emphasizing passion, individual expression, and a loving, family-like atmosphere, in contrast to many dance academies that prioritize fierce competition.
“We are all about dancing and encouraging the development of children,” the school’s website states. “In addition to life skills like commitment and teamwork, we want to develop self-expression, rhythm, coordination, and fitness.”
And that concept is seen in this incredible performance. The enthusiasm, self-assurance, and genuine passion for their craft that each dancer exudes adds even more significance to each performance.
Prepare to be amazed as you see their amazing performance below, which showcases the highest level of craftsmanship.
