 On Monday 21st March, one of our students was delighted to participate in a masterclass with star of the TV hit show Dance Moms, Abby Lee Miller. Not only did she meet and dance for Abby Lee Miller, but also met Brynn, her mum Ashlee (from Dance Moms), and Mackenzie Sol. She learned dances in a lyrical style taught by Abby, hip hop choreographed by ALDC LA choreographer/instructor Guy Amir, plus participated in a hip hop style audition, which we are extremely proud that our pupil was selected by Abby!  Four of our Junior students enjoyed a fantastic morning with Birmingham Royal Ballet at The Lowry Theatre, Salford. The morning started with a ballet class, and they then learnt an extract from Romeo and Juliet. Parents and families were then invited to watch a performance by the girls of the extract, which everyone thoroughly enjoyed! The teacher was Andrea Tredinnick (ex-Royal Ballet School and ex-Birmingham Royal Ballet for twenty four years, eighteen of which as a first soloist), and the class was held in the beautiful Compass Room at The Lowry.  On Monday 30th November, one of our eleven-year-old students had a great experience attending a three-hour jazz technique workshop with Rebecca Davies and Lucy Ellis. Rebecca, from Melbourne, Australia, has taught at the famous Abby Lee Dance Company and the students of the hit TV show 'Dance Moms'. Rebecca's students have also been featured in the TV series Dance Academy, and worked in productions with Opera Australia, The Australian Ballet, Bolshoi Ballet, the National Ballet of Canada as well as countless stage and television appearances. We are very privileged to have had such an incredible opportunity whilst Rebecca and Lucy are in the UK.  Three of our students had a fantastic time this morning participating in a workshop by Birmingham Royal Ballet at The Lowry, Salford, based on their latest touring production of Swan Lake - the teacher was Andrea Tredinnick (ex-Royal Ballet School and ex-Birmingham Royal Ballet for twenty four years, eighteen of which as a first soloist) The morning started with a ballet class, and later on, the girls learnt a section from Swan Lake, before performing it for parents. All the students thoroughly enjoyed themselves!  Congratulations to all students involved in our most recent NATD Tap and Theatrical examination session! 45 examinations were taken, and 45 Distinctions were achieved! This is our 10th consecutive examination session where all students who took an exam received a Distinction!  On Sunday we held our Spring 2015 Examination Preview for our Junior students (ages 4-10 years old). This was an opportunity for friends and family to come and watch their child and to see all that they had been preparing for and achieved. Please visit our Photo Galleries page (scroll down to the bottom!), to see our photos from the day and some videos too! Congratulations to students involved in ISTD Ballet examinations in December. The exam results have just come through, and everyone gained a Distinction!
 Earlier this year, one of our junior students qualified for the prestigious ISTD Junior Ballet Awards, to be held at Radlett Centre, in Radlett, Hertfordshire. The annual competition was held on Sunday 19th October, with 77 competitors in the Grade 1 class (with some very tough competition!). The competition was adjudicated by a panel of judges, with multiple classes and rounds. We are very proud that our student was a Finalist! Congratulations!  Take a look at our YouTube channel, as we have been very busy uploading videos, both old and new, of our dancing school!
