🕺🎉EXAM RESULTS 🎉🕺

Excited to say that yet again we have another success with our I.S.T.D exams. We have 100% pass rate with all my wonderful students getting amazing scores.

Well done to all those that did an I.S.T.D modern or tap exam on Sunday 7th June. The hard work you put in has paid off and I am one very happy and proud teacher.

🤸🏽GROUP LIFTS🤸🏽

For those of you that came along and watched our choreographic awards evening would have seen four dancers perform an acro piece.
During rehearsals they hit the lift and balance each time but during the main performance things didn’t quite work out.
The girls carried on beautifully and the routine looked fab but the girls wanted to show what the lift should have looked like.
(It was also on my list to get them back on stage to redo the lift but the night ran away with me and it slipped my mind.)

So here we are ERIN,DAISY,AMELIA and EMILY performing their stacked lift.

Hope you like it.

🕺🚨NO CLASSES 🚨🕺

Just a reminder we have no classes running today at the studio. Miss Alice will run these missed classes at the end of term on Thursday 23rd July.

Enjoy an evening off.
