    • QUOTES (2)

      • Nigel: (to Melissa and Ade after their performance of Tyce Diorio's comtemporary routine about a woman with cancer) I think that has just shown me why I love dance so much and that is because it can express (holds back tears) so many emotions without words.

      • Mia: If you look in the dictionary under 'girl', 'perfection', and 'star', you'd find a picture of Kayla.
