I wish to recognise and congratulate Eliena Bentham, an exceptional young dancer from Industry Dance Co. in Tahmoor, on her outstanding achievement in securing a place in The Dream Creative Oz Wollongong 2026 program. Created by the renowned Dream Dance Company, this highly competitive program selects a limited number of talented dancers through an audition process, offering participants an invaluable opportunity to develop their skills, creativity and performance abilities. Eliena's selection is a testament to her dedication, passion and commitment to dance. Through this intensive program, she had the opportunity to learn from leading performers, immerse herself in high-level dance training and further develop her artistic expression alongside some of the country's finest emerging talent. Her achievement is particularly noteworthy and reflects the hard work and determination she continues to demonstrate as a member of the Industry Dance Co. 2026 Show Team. I congratulate Eliena on this significant milestone and commend her for pursuing her passion for dancing with such enthusiasm and perseverance. I wish her every success as she continues to grow as a performer and inspire other young dancers across our community.
