ISTD Imperial Classical Ballet Senior Awards 2019

On Sunday 3rd May, one of our ten year old Junior students competed in the annual ISTD Imperial Classical Ballet Senior Awards.

The annual competition, hosted by our examination board, the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD), was held at The Hawth Theatre in Crawley, West Sussex. It featured dancers who had qualified from all across the UK and Europe.

The competition involved students learning and performing choreography taught on the day, alongside a prepared set variation, to a panel of judges. In the Grade 4 class, the day began with 57 students performing in three categories,

Congratulations to our student, as she was one of only 21 competitors who was chosen to go through to the finals later that day. This was a wonderful achievement as she was the smallest, and one of the youngest in the class, competing against children as old as fourteen.
