Lancaster Festa Italia

04/06/2026

One week on from ☀️🇮🇹

The sun shone in the sky and our students shone in their performances. Days like this are the very best! No pressure, just fun, laughter and making memories together 🫶🏼

One of our favourite memories was the impromptu circle of students, all singing and dancing together, a wonderful moment that perfectly captured the spirit of the day 🥹

Festa Italia marked the end of six weeks of performances for our team, and we couldn’t be prouder of everything they have achieved. Alongside their ISTD exam preparations and dance competitions:

✔️ Charity Auction
✔️ HITs Lancashire
✔️ Festa Italia

What a fantastic term it has been so far!

Now we look ahead to the final seven weeks of the summer term, culminating in four days of ISTD Ballet, Tap and Modern examinations, followed by our Annual Presentations on Sunday 19th July.

Well done, everyone! Keep up the hard work. We can’t wait to see what the rest of the term brings! ✨
