GREAT NEWS!!! ACTIVE KIDS PROGRAM!!
So it’s no secret that Blue Suede Shoes was founded on children’s classes and we were very successful in the early years in training the young ones to compete and perform.
This year my goal and passion is to bring the kids back on to the dance floor and get them ACTIVE.
It’s all about inspiring our future champs!
So when the opportunity arose to be part of the ACTIVE KIDS I literally jumped in.
It’s a long process and after 4 weeks I can proudly say we have been approved as a Provider!! There will be more details coming shortly. In the meantime please visit Service NSW online or your nearest office apply for your $100 voucher. Keeping our Kids Active!
