Cal Mills and Maddie King, both Shepparton locals, have been known in the community for their incredible work and talent as dancers and despite having moved to Melbourne for study, they come back every week to run dance classes and collaborate with young dancers in the area.

Nicola sat down to have a chat with them about Belong and the journey they took in creating an inclusive space for dancers in Greater Shepparton.

Their debut show is set to take place across the weekend of May 2 to May 4. You can access tickets for their upcoming show, 'What I know now' here tinyurl.com/mr39afka
