Lawrence and a group of tiny but talented dancers from Tamworth City Dance Academy (TCDA) made the most of the sunshine and the city's stunning landscape to film the clip for one of her new songs, Raindance, at the local mountain bike park.
The country music star has announced her second kid's album, Kid's Gone Country II, which will be released late next month.

"Most of the songs on this album the kids can either sing along or there's a little dance to go with it, and they're very simple, because I have never ever learnt to dance so if I can do it, anyone can do it," Lawrence told the Leader.
The dance crew of about ten TDCA students busted out their Raindance routine on camera.
"These kids are adorable and they're very well trained, TCDA are amazing and they're much better dancers than I am," Lawrence joked.
"At the moment we don't necessarily need the raindance to work but there will come a time when we need to get the gumboots out and hope that the rain falls."
The singer-songwriter will burst back onto the music scene in Tamworth sooner than expected, after it was announced the national launch of her upcoming album will take the stage at the city's town hall on November 22.
"Not only can families be there in person, it will be streamed live around the country, so it's really exciting," Lawrence said.
Kid's Gone Country II - to be released on November 20 - is Lawrence's second album full of songs for youngsters, covering themes like country life, animals, adventurous kids, inner beauty, getting dirty, drought, and more.
She said although she's not making the permanent move to being a children's entertainer - she described it as a big side project - it's been a blast to create.
"The original idea was that if we can build up kids to become country music fans, that is going to be a great thing," Lawrence said.
"These songs are all designed for fun and it's been so much fun to do it, and now I have a two-year-old, I need some music for him to listen to as well."
