  • Queen Victoria School's dance team won the Kula title despite having no prior dance experience.
  • Students were initially hesitant but grew in confidence through rehearsals and support.
  • The achievement is significant as most team members had no previous dance or sporting background.

Queen Victoria School's (QVS) Kula Dance triumph highlights the remarkable journey of students who discovered their talent through dedicated rehearsals, even without prior dance experience. The QVS boys initially expressed hesitation about competing, with some doubting their ability to perform on stage.

However, Dance Coach Tevita Tobeyaweni observed that the students consistently attended rehearsals, where their latent potential quickly became apparent. Tobeyaweni noted that the team navigated various challenges during their preparation, but robust support from parents and QVS old scholars significantly boosted the students' confidence.

The school ultimately secured the top prize at the Vodafone Arena, with Xavier College and Swami Vivekananda College taking second and third place, respectively. Tobeyaweni emphasized that this victory is particularly noteworthy given that the majority of the boys had no previous experience in dance or sports. The Kula Awards ceremony is set to continue with the Film Award.
