2016 LTD Christmas Concert

"Nature On Stage"

On November 23, 2016, The Love To Dance Academy wowed audiences with a beautiful display of costumes, choreography, music and a variety of dance styles brought to life by the fifty-five Love To Dance students who performed on stage.  Dancers aged 3 - 43 entertained seven hundred plus audience members with a variety of dance styles which included Ballet, Spanish, Lyrical Jazz and Hip Hop.

Due to popular demand, the Love To Dance Academy decided to host not one, but two performances at the Merritt Civic Centre as part of the annual Merritt Country Christmas.
