✨ THROWBACK THURSDAY ✨

This week we’re taking a trip down memory lane at The Nicholson Academy! πŸ©·πŸ–€πŸ€

We’ll be sharing some adorable throwback photos of our dancers from when they first started their journey at TNA… and wow have they grown! πŸ₯Ήβœ¨ From tiny dancers taking their very first steps to the confident performers they are today, we are so proud of every single one of them.

Can you spot anyone you recognise? πŸ‘€
Parents, pupils and past pupils… we’d love to know who you spot first! πŸ’•

Watching our TNA family grow in confidence, ability and friendships over the years is truly so special. 🫢
