VIVA is always one of our favourite competitions and this one was just amazing!

We loved the improv section, seeing all the dancer so so much feeling and emotion was breath taking!  Our Cookies gave their all, with some of us being recalled and going all the way to the finals!

The atmosphere was amazing, and there was a great buzz and a load of support in the room for it being Claire Michelle Walton Murray’s last ever VIVA! Dancers and Professionals showing the high level of respect we all have for this incredible lady.

The Viva Team absolutely nailed it and we all came away feeling very proud of how you had all danced and what you had achieved.
