Essence 2023 brought together dancers of all ages from the Spirit of Dance Academy for a vibrant evening of colour, rhythm, and celebration. Before the show, each class gathered for group portraits in their bright Indian outfits, setting the tone for a night filled with both classical and modern Bollywood‑inspired performances. The recital unfolded in a series of expressive pieces that highlighted the academy’s range and creativity, building toward a spectacular finale with every dancer on stage. This collection brings together the full visual story of the event, from the quiet anticipation backstage to the energy and joy of the final bow.
