🌟STUDENT SUCCESSES 🌟

We would like to congratulate Georgina on achieving Distinction in her RAD Advanced 1 Ballet Exam! 🤩

Georgina has been offered a scholarship to attend London Studio Centre and is on the waiting list for Rambert School.

She has also, along with Ava, been accepted into the Brit School! 🤩

Huge congratulations to them both 🎉

In addition, congratulations go to both Lotti and Darcey for achieving Merit in their RAD Intermediate Ballet Exams 👏

And final congrats go to our former student Samanta who is currently studying full time at Elmhurst Ballet School in Birmingham. She has just completed her Easter Intensive at English National Ballet School and was accepted onto every Summer Intensive she applied to, and has chosen to attend Princess Grace, Monaco and John Cranko, Stuttgart.

We are so proud of all of our students for their achievements ☺️

Happy New Year 🥳

Wishing all of our students and their families a very happy, healthy and peaceful 2026

2025 was a whirlwind of successes, starting with Samanta being offered a place at Elmhurst Ballet School in Birmingham, which she took up in September this year.

Now it’s Georgina’s turn to be congratulated after being offered a scholarship to attend London Studio Centre from September 2026 🥳👏

And finally, congratulations to our 105 students who all took part in their Royal Academy of Dance Ballet Examinations and Class Awards in December.

All 64 Class Award students passed and and our 41 Exam students received the following results:

6 Distinctions
31 High Merits
4 Merits

So now it’s 2026 and I’m looking forward to seeing what this year will bring 🤩🩰

And with more good news ☺️

Huge congratulations to both Ieva and Maria who have passed their RAD Intermediate ballet exam.

Ieva was awarded a High Merit and Maria gained a Distinction!!

These are fantastic results and very well deserved for the two girls who put so much hard work into preparing for their exams 🩰🥳🎉

So excited for Samanta who has just arrived at Elmhurst Ballet School to begin the next phase of her ballet journey 🩰☺️

Sending her lots of love and good wishes and looking forward to hearing about all her exciting experiences 🥰

Maria and Ieva’s ballet journey 🩰

From their youngest years, through getting their first pair of pointe shoes to taking their Intermediate exam yesterday, I have always been proud of these two young ladies. They are shining examples to our younger students with their hard work in class, and also with the way they have helped in the school on busy Saturdays, exam days and show days.

Wishing them both a wonderful summer holiday now the pressure of the exam is over, and good luck for year 13, as they now take a step back from ballet to focus on their academic work. I shall miss them both!

I hope everyone has had a lovely holiday.
Classes are starting back from this week and just a reminder that our fab Adult Tap classes are on every Wednesday evening
7pm Beginners / Improvers
8pm General / Advanced

Please share and spread the word so we can get the numbers up in these classes and help to keep them going this term and beyond! 😊

On Saturday, we were visited by the amazing Creative Director of ENBYouthCo, Carolyn Bolton who together with her Dance Assistant, Emilia and live musician, David took nearly 40 of our senior students through their paces with a 2.5hr workshop.

Such a great opportunity for the students to experience different teachers, styles of dance and of course the benefit of live music!

🌟🌟A huge congratulations to our student Samanta who has been offered a place at Elmhurst Ballet School! 👏👏🩰🩰🌟🌟

I have loved every moment of supporting her on her journey so far and wish her all the best on this new and exciting phase☺️

Half term is on its way and if you’re looking to do something with the kiddos then I’d love to recommend this!

Tori Kosara attends our adult ballet and tap classes, is mum to two of our students and has provided invaluable backstage support to our students on show days. But regardless of all of that, how cool is it that she’s actually an author and is encouraging small people to discover the joy of books! 😊
