Toddlers, tiaras and tantrums filled backstage at Shepparton’s Eastbank on Saturday morning, when 80 young students from Shepparton's U Can Dance studio bopped and boogied under glimmering stage lights for their annual concert.

The performance's theme, Ready Set Party, delighted adoring family and friends.
Studio instructor Aliesha Spence said the morning was an opportunity for the youngsters aged two to five years to dress up and reveal their new moves to their loved ones.
“They do jazz, tap, ballet, hip hop — which is all part of the studio's tots' program, and this concert is dedicated to the little ones,” Ms Spence said.
“We have 80 children performing today and then we will have about 400 older students take to the stage at the end-of-year concert.''
Between performing at least two dances each, the bright sparks scurried backstage to change their colourful costumes.
However, any pressure may have been more on the dance mums, as a glimpse backstage revealed children laughing, playing and singing to their hearts' content.
