Well done Soleil. Can't wait to watch it!

Yay!
Soleil (who has been covering some of Alice's classes at KSTD) is in the Loughborough Town Hall panto this year. We can't wait to go and see the production. It is always excellent but with Soleil to watch and support too this is a bonus. Congratulations Soleil!

✨✨ And there you have it... The first five members of our cast, coming to the LTH stage this Festive season! ✨✨

Join Dick Whittington on his search for fame and fortune as he sets off for London where the streets are paved with gold... or are they?

It’s going to take some help from Fairy Bow Bells and his trusty cat, if he’s going to stop a rather repellent rat from taking over the world!

Featuring stunning sets, fantastic frocks, lavish meow-sical numbers and side-splitting slapstick, this panto is the purrr-fect Christmas treat for the whole family.

Get your tickets now, it’s going to be paw-some!

KSTD is celebrating its 50th year. In September 1976 Ann opened the school with a handful of pupils and just 1 class at 1 venue. Now in September 2026 KSTD has 250 pupils, runs over 40 weekly classes,10 different genres across 3 venues with 7 teachers.
The anniversary show back in March was a huge celebration. A reminder of the weekend in these amazing photographs captured by Michelle McCoy Photography
Many congratulations to everyone at KSTD!

We look forward to seeing everyone again and welcoming new pupils to the school. See you all this week!

September brings new beginnings. We wish all our pupils all the very best of luck with new school years, schools, colleges and work. We also wish to say 'see you again' to our pupils leaving us to go to university. The memories you have made at KSTD will last a lifetime. As these former pupils realised at the 50th anniversary show in March, KSTD has been a constant! From rehearsal studio to stage! Preparing for performances has been a huge part of building confidence, resilience, team work, relationships, communication and organisational skills. Sets them up for life!
All these pupils started as young children and have grown up at the studio learning these life lessons.

WE ARE STILL HERE AND CONTINUE TO BE FOR THE NEXT GENERATION! To find out more email us on [email protected]. For more information visit:

See you all next week from Monday 7th September onwards!
Ann, Kirsty and all the KSTD team! Xx

Good luck to everyone receiving their GCSE results today! 🍀

Remember this is only one step in a much bigger journey.

Whether you're celebrating the results you've worked so hard for, considering your next move, or reassessing your plans, remember that there is no single route to success. Some of the best journeys take unexpected turns.

As dancers know, progress isn't measured by one performance alone. It's built through dedication, resilience, passion and the courage to keep going, even when things don't go exactly to plan.

Be proud of everything you've achieved to get to this point, and look ahead with confidence to whatever comes next.

Wishing all students the very best of luck today. 💜
