Latest News and Update 9 July
Thank you to all our pupils and families for a lovely afternoon last Sunday at our Prize-giving event. The achievements during the last 2 years were certainly worth celebrating!
We had some heartfelt speeches from students and everyone was overwhelmingly supportive to those who received awards.
Please have your trophies engraved as soon as possible with pupil’s full name and year 2022 and keep them safe until next year.

We ask that you respect the dancers and teachers by keeping the noise level down to a minimum as to not distract the students.
We will then break for lunch until 1.30pm

Audience will be allowed entrance at 3.50pm
Our first Showcase will begin at 4pm followed by the second one at 5.30pm.
At the end of the second showcase there will be a few speeches from our leavers and graduation gifts presented.
We have a few tickets left for both showcases, but when we have sold out of tickets unfortunately we cannot allow entrance to those without tickets due to space in the studio.
Please do not turn up unexpectedly without a ticket as you will be turned away.
The forecast is to be hot so please wear light clothing and have water with you in the audience. We will have plenty of drinks and iced lollies for the students taking part.
