Celebrating the Achievements of Harrison Lee
We couldn’t be prouder of Harrison Lee, who began his dance journey with us at Jigsaw Dance during his early years. Harrison has grown into an exceptional talent, achieving incredible milestones that speak to his dedication, passion, and hard work. With supportive parents and unmatched determination, Harrison has reached new heights in the world of ballet.
A Rising Star from Castle Hill
Recently, Harrison has been training at the Jigsaw Dance HQ venue in Castle Hill, perfecting his craft for upcoming events and competitions. Watching him refine his skills on familiar ground has been nothing short of inspiring.
An excerpt from Hills News highlights Harrison’s journey:
- At just 13 years old, Harrison has made significant strides toward his dream of becoming a classical ballet dancer.
- He was named the most outstanding dancer in the Isobel Anderson Award for the second time in Sydney.
- In New Zealand, Harrison claimed first prize in the prestigious Alana Haines Australasia (AHA) Awards and won the audience choice award for the most popular dancer.
Incredible Opportunities and Recognition
As a result of his victories, Harrison received:
- $1500 in prize money from the Isobel Anderson Award.
- $3000 in prize money and a scholarship to the Royal Ballet School London summer school from the AHA Awards.
Harrison’s mother, Cindy Lee, expressed her excitement and support as she prepares to take him to the summer school in London this July—a significant step toward his dream of dancing with the Royal Ballet.
The Alana Haines Trust, established in 1990 by Greg and Katie Haines, honours the memory of their daughter Alana and supports young dancers like Harrison in achieving their aspirations.
A Bright Future Ahead
Harrison’s journey is a testament to the power of passion, resilience, and support from family and community. At Castle Hill Dance Studio, we feel privileged to have played a small role in his early development and are thrilled to see his success on the international stage.
