Unbelievably proud of all our recently exam candidates.

Outstanding results with the majority being awarded in the high 80s and 90s.

This is only achieved with:

💜 dedicated and talented dancers who put their heart and soul into their dancing. Who turn up each week, practise at home, listen to their teachers and support one another.
💜 the outstanding teachers at Emma RAPA Dance who dedicate so much time to their students both in and outside the studio. Extra CPD training courses, lesson planning and highly qualified. They go above and beyond every time.
💜 the parents, without the dedication and support of your mums, dads and whoever brings you to dance, helps you practise, pays for private lessons and coaching lessons, this wouldn't be possible.

Huge shout out to all of you!

Congratulations to all our award winners this year.
