“Stompin is everything I needed to grow as a human, and a dancer, for the past few years. I have learnt dance, choreography and invaluable creative processes, but I've also learned about myself through this exposure to the contemporary dance world. The teamwork, perseverance, camaraderie, and overall professionalism and evolution of this youth dance company has made me realise my own values and goals for the future, and without the guidance of the professional artists I've been exposed to through Stompin's extensive community outreach, I wouldn't be where I am, who I am, or know what I want to do in life, without it.” Ebony Nichols - Stompin Alumna/Assistant Choreographer 2024 Major Show
