A Melton dance teacher has been awarded the title of Most Valuable Player in a community competition designed to reward locals who contribute positivity to their sports club.
InStyle Dance Company artistic director Sinead Speranza won the MVP title in the Taylors Hill Village ‘The Real MVP’ competition.
The competition invited the Melton community to nominate someone from their local club who brought positive change to their community and deserved the MVP title, with the winner scoring a $2000 voucher prize.
Ms Speranza, who was nominated multiple times for the award for her commitment to her students, first joined the studio as a child 24 years ago and has been dedicated ever since.
“I love what I do here,” she said.
“Although it was a bumpy ride during the lockdown, we kept our students’ enthusiasm going by providing online classes.
“We are so excited to relaunch our mid-year concert in September and the children are busy practising their moves.”
Taylors Hill Village centre manager Mark Ensor said The Real MVP award was a way to give back to sports clubs that have supported the wellbeing of the local community during the pandemic.
“They’ve shown great resilience that epitomises community spirit in these unprecedented times,” Mr Ensor said.
