Congratulations to one of our senior students, Sophie, who has successfully been offered a place on the residential Elmhurst Ballet School Summer School 2021!
​
A wonderful achievement!

Thank you to all the Silver Swans® who joined us in our online coffee morning today. Another fascinating and enjoyable chat with everyone!

Congratulations to one of our senior students, Megan, who has completed her 'Physical' assessment of her The Duke of Edinburgh's Award with us this year.

Over the years, we have helped many of our teenage students work towards and achieve their 'Physical' and 'Volunteering' sections of this award.
​
The Duke of Edinburgh Award, led by the child's academic school, recognises adolescents and young adults for completing a challenging series of self-improvement exercises (Volunteering, Physical, Skills and Expedition).​

Thank you so much to everyone who joined us for our Age of Creativity Festival Silver Swans® ballet class. It was lovely to meet you all and we hope you enjoyed your taster of being a Silver Swan!
​
We loved having so many new swans joining us from all across the UK (and Germany!) to celebrate this festival, hosted by Age UK.

Congratulations to Miley who has been offered a place on the Moorland International Ballet Academy's Summer School 2021!

At 10am on 29th April, a small group of our Silver Swans joined with Silver Swans at the Ascot School of Dance in Brisbane, Australia, for a shared ballet class on International Dance Day.

It was wonderful to be able to teach a live ballet class that was reaching participants at opposite ends of the world – the wonders of technology!

Afterwards we all enjoyed a lovely chat. Unfortunately we only remembered to take a photo of us all when nearly everyone had left!

Huge congratulations to Sophie who has received the wonderful news that she has passed her assessment at Northern Ballet associates and will be moving up into their Intermediate Associate class.
​
Sophie has worked so hard throughout the lockdowns in her online classes with us, and has been in and out of the studio with Northern Ballet because of the lockdowns – never once complaining, and always attending class with a smile on her face. Sophie's assessment at Northern Ballet this week was her first lesson back in a dance studio in 2021, which just shows how with hard work and determination, not even lockdown can stop you from achieving your goals.

Congratulations to Lorelle who has placed 3rd in the ballet section of the online British Dance Performers Championships!
​
As our only competitor at this event, you represented our school beautifully.
