Inspiring the next Generation of dancers

Our 2025 annual show Shine at the Royal Hall this June was truly outstanding! It was so heartwarming to see all the performers supporting one another backstage—what a special atmosphere. Huge thanks to our amazing chaperones for keeping everything running smoothly, and a big shoutout to Cathryn for the stunning costumes that brought the whole show to life. Everyone absolutely shone on stage, and we’re so grateful to all the families and parents for their continued support. What a night to remember!

We are beyond proud to share the incredible success our dancers achieved across two competitions in February at the Riley Smith Hall in Tadcaster. It was an amazing few weeks for all involved, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the results!

Our team brought home an impressive 16 trophies in total, showcasing the outstanding talent, dedication, and hard work of every dancer. In addition to these fantastic wins, we were honored with 3 Adjudicators' Choice nominations, highlighting the exceptional quality and creativity of our performances.

A special shoutout goes to those who competed in the Freestyle section. This category required an immense amount of confidence, individuality, and stage presence, and we were so proud to see our dancers rise to the challenge. Freestyle dance is a true test of bravery and creativity, and our performers handled it with incredible skill and energy.

We are so proud of all of our dancers who took part and represented our school with such professionalism and enthusiasm. These competitions were not just about winning awards but about growth, confidence, and pushing boundaries.

Thank you to everyone who made these achievements possible—our dedicated dancers, teachers, and families. We can’t wait to continue this journey and look forward to more opportunities to showcase our talent!

What a fantastic way to wrap up the 2025 summer term! This May, our students took their IDTA  exams in ballet, tap, and modern—some stepping into the exam room for the very first time—and the results were nothing short of amazing. Every student achieved either a distinction or high merit, a true testament to their hard work, dedication, and love for dance.

All classwork assessments were awarded the highest band, and every rosette student passed with flying colours—an incredible achievement all round. A special congratulations goes to our top exam achievers this term: Kirby, Emily L, and Alice H, whose outstanding results were truly exceptional. Well done!

We are so proud of each and every one of our students. Thank you for your continued enthusiasm, and here's to even more success in the new term!
