It took a while to accept that it’s gone but I appreciated the opportunity of having the award,” he said. The youngster practises with The Academy SA and hopes to expose others to dance and grow the community of dance. “I aspire to be a filmmaker and learn more about the industry. I consider myself my biggest supporter because belief starts within you,” he said.
