Congratulations to Lola, Amelia and Sophie who are featured in the Roch Valley Dancewear 2021-2022 trade catalogue, sent to dancewear retailers all across the UK!

This was Lola and Amelia's first time at a dance photoshoot, and they modelled ballet leotards, skirts, freestyle/jazz outfits and accessories. 
​
The catalogue also features some previous photos of Sophie from her photoshoot with Roch Valley a few years ago.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us online for our Silver Swans® event for Silver Sunday! It was our fourth year of hosting a Silver Swans ballet class for the annual Silver Sunday celebrations, and our fourth year of the event being fully booked.

We had participants signed up from all across Manchester, Yorkshire, Isle of Man, Tyne and Wear, Norfolk, Dorset Northamptonshire, London, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Cheshire.

Have you seen the new Dancewear Central 2021-2022 catalogue? You might recognise some familiar faces from our school!

Well done to Emily, Miley, Gia, Denis, Mami, Ella, Mia and Sophie who all feature throughout the children's section. They appear alongside professional dancers from the Royal Ballet, English National Ballet and Royal Ballet Upper School.

It's the summer holidays! We hope that everyone enjoys a well-deserved summer break.

Why not head over to our Facebook page to see our end of term countdown, looking back and the many amazing achievements this past academic year?

We wish to remind our students that they may wear tights, socks and shoes that match their own skin tone for both classes and examinations.

However, we have the great news that students can now purchase the full range of tights, socks, leather ballet shoes, canvas ballet shoes and satin ballet shoes in colours specifically made to match black and mixed-race skin tones, all from one dancewear company.

We have always struggled in the past to recommend a company to our students where they can purchase skin tone tights, shoes and socks from one place. Dancewear Central now stock the full range, and so our school uniform list has been updated regarding tights, socks and ballet shoes and where to purchase these.

We've heard some wonderful news this week from two of our past students (and siblings), Emily and Denis. Emily is in full-time training at The Hammond School, Chester, and Denis is in full-time training at The Royal Ballet School, London. Both students trained with us from beginners until they went into full-time training at age 11.

Emily and Denis have now completed their first year at their respective schools and we are proud to announce that both have been awarded prizes in their schools' awards ceremonies!
