GRADUATING DANCER: SHREYA 💫

Congratulations on your final recital, Shreya!👏✨

Shreya Jayaraman joined LDW in 2011 also at the tender age of 3. A born leader, before every group dance, Shreya would huddle her group together building confidence and encouragement. She has that “it” factor proven when she won the “Face of Fever” this year. Shreya will be studying for her Honours Bachelor of Health Sciences at the University of Ottawa.

Enjoy your final bow!
