Three students had a fantastic time attending summer schools this year:

Two students attended a week-long international residential classical ballet summer course. Daily classes were taught by Shannon Parker, Peter Parker (pictured), Errol Pickford and Olivia Pickford. The girls were particularly excited to be taught by Shannon and Peter after their great success on Britain's Got Talent earlier this year. The girls had daily classes in ballet, contemporary, repertoire, and workshops/masterclasses in Pas de Deux and commercial. The course culminated in an afternoon's performance.

Another student attended Merseyside Dance and Drama Centre's junior summer school. In the week-long course, she had daily classes in Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Contemporary, Drama and Musical Theatre, with a performance on the final day.

​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.
