2020 what a year it has been let us take a quick look at what that has meant for us as a dance school.

We have welcomed new students, danced in the studio and at home, zoomed workshops from professional dancers from Royal Ballet school, cruise ship dancers, Cheerleading master class and lots more, achieving 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in face to face and online competitions, students have gained places at very established associate programs and we have maintained the school’s 100% pass rate in RAD Ballet and ISTD Modern and Tap exams with the highest marks being an incredible 95 out of 100.

I want to take this opportunity to highlight some achievements this year

Competition team
