Did you know that in 2020 we have once again been rated as one of the '3 Best Dance Schools in Bury'?

We are proud to have been rated as one of the top 3 dance schools in Bury for the last few years.

All dance schools rated by 'Three Best Rated®' face a rigorous 50-point inspection which includes local reviews, history, trading standards, ratings, satisfaction, trust, price and general excellence.

Dancing at the ISTD Senior Ballet Awards in 2020, and awarded the Nancy Robinson Cup for Musicality.
This week we said a sad farewell to one of our eleven year olds students. This year, she has successfully auditioned for The Hammond School in Chester to begin full time dance training in Year 7.

She started ballet training with us just a little before she was seven years old and has worked so hard in every class since. In this time, she has progressed from a complete beginner, through all of her ballet grades (all with high Distinctions), and into her vocational grades. 

In her time with us, she has been successfully cast in Birmingham Royal Ballet's The Nutcracker at the Royal Albert Hall, London, and Swan Lake Dreams at Birmingham Hippodrome. She is a regular model for Dancewear Central (an international online dance retailer) for both their website and catalogues, and has been a Junior Associate of Elmhurst Ballet School for three years and Stagebox for one year. She has also had many successes at competitions all across the UK, winning many trophies and medals, including multiple awards at both the prestigious ISTD Junior Ballet Awards and ISTD Senior Ballet Awards.

We are so incredibly proud of what she has achieved, and this is a testament to her many years of hard work and dedication. We can't wait to see what the future has in store for her.

In her last lesson with us, we asked whether she has had a favourite moment or a particular highlight. Her response?

– "All of it"
