The talented dancers of iDance Echuca put on a show for the residents of Wharparilla Lodge on Wednesday, December 17.

iDance have been putting on a performance for the residents for the past three years, and this year’s event once again proved a success.

Dancers ranging from adorable three-year-olds to accomplished senior performers captivated their enthusiastic audience.

Each presented their routines one last time before the year's end, marking a finale to months of competitions and rehearsals.

Dance principal Courtney Loader said it was special that the final time the kids were going to perform their routines were in front of some of the students’ grandparents.

“(The kids) loved it … and I think (the residents) looked forward to it as much as our kids did,” Courtney said.

She said the dance company initially started the annual tradition as a way of giving back to the community that have supported them over the year.

“They've worked really hard on those routines all year, and competitions are a great way to share them,” she said.

“But there’s something special about just doing it to give back - it’s a really important lesson for those kids too.”

There to capture the event was Riv photographer Jordan Townrow.
