One Light is an independent dance show choreographed and directed by Loredo Malcolm.
One Light demonstrates the power in the word 'ONE' and how that can be used in a powerful and positive sense to create awareness, focus and shed 'LIGHT' on the fact that we are all ONE.
Miss Allgood said she was "very excited" to take part in the show.
"I had never gone for anything professional before but I thought it would be a good change and a great opportunity to gain more experience," she said.
"We had auditions in June ago and he selected 15 dancers to be his performance of ONE LIGHT this year."
Miss Allgood has spent 2022 studying at Kelly Aykers Full Time Dance School in Melbourne.
The show provides an opportunity for Miss Allgood to learn from Loredo Malcolm who has accumulated an expansive resume over his dancing career.
