'Throughout this year in the training program, we’ve worked on expanding our knowledge and expertise in different commercial styles from contemporary and heels, to popping and waacking. In the past few months we worked on learning choreography for our pieces and then filmed them all. I’m so excited for people to see what myself and the rest of the training program members have been working towards and what we’ve been able to accomplish during a pandemic!'.
