Full-time ballet school place offer!

15/12/2024

 
Huge congratulations to Lorelle who has been offered a full time place at The Hammond! This was her first choice of school and we couldn't be more proud of her achievement – completely smashing her first full-time school audition!

We have taught Lorelle since she first started with us at age 5 when we were an in-person school, and continued her ballet training online with us. It has been an absolute pleasure to watch her dancing develop over the years and we can't wait to see what the future holds for her!
