💜 The August Intensive 2026! 🔥

🥳 What an amazing week we’ve had with our guest teachers Aaron and Jody! We couldn’t have had such a brilliant time without you both 💜 Thank you so much!

💃🏻 Full of technique, conditioning, learning lots of choreography in lots of different styles of dance, and culminating in a 45 min showcase at the end of the week we learnt so much! And we had so many family and friends come to watch that we had to put extra chairs out 😊

We had such a good time with lots of friends, new and old 👯‍♀️👯

📆 Our next school year resumes the w/b 7th September so make sure you’ve signed up! Classes are getting full! We look forward to seeing you all soon!

💜On Saturday, our showcase Nascendance took over the Theatre by the Lake , and it was magical from start to finish

From our littlest stars who have just turned 4, to our incredible seniors, teachers, chaperones, and brilliant audience, everyone absolutely loved it!

A production like this takes a village, and we have the absolute best one.
A massive, heartfelt THANK YOU to:
⭐️ Our fundraising team
⭐️ The wonderful staff at Theatre by the Lake
⭐️ Our incredible chaperones & backstage helpers
⭐️ Our fantastic videographer and photographer
⭐️ Our brilliant compères
⭐️ Our phenomenal MGDA teachers for their endless dedication
⭐️ Our amazing audience for cheering us on so loudly!
⭐️ And most importantly… OUR PERFORMERS! You were spectacular. Every single one of you shone so brightly on that stage. 🌟

The excitement didn’t stop there! On Sunday, Miss Mel, April, and Elizabeth headed down to Stoke-on-Trent. Both girls worked incredibly hard joining the AAD scholarship class, and Elizabeth also absolutely smashed the MMAG and Debut classes!

What a beautiful, busy, inspiring weekend. Thank you, everyone! Here’s to the next one! 🩰✨

👀 Make sure you keep an eye out for more exciting things happening soon like our End of Year Awards Evening and Party, and our August Intensive!
