Isabella was among 15 Dillmac singers and dancers who travelled to South Australia for the national finals of the Follow Your Dreams song and dance competition.
During the week she received the news that she had been accepted into a dance school for a two-year course.
The 16-year-old will attend Dynamite Studios in Queensland.

Dillmac Entertainment partner Liz Dillon said the results of her performers were outstanding, in particular, the dance troupe.
“We have battled right through COVID, like so many. Our industry has been locked down for so long and this is a great result.
