Big congratulations to Oonagh-Skye, our August Star of the Month! 🌟💙

Oonagh-Skye has really impressed us with her fantastic concentration in class. She listens carefully to every correction she is given, has been working hard at home to put those corrections into practice, and is doing a brilliant job of applying them to her dances.

We are so proud of the progress she is making and, most importantly, the commitment she is showing to her dancing.

So well deserved, Oonagh-Skye! 💙👏

Big congratulations to Izzy, our July Star of the Month! 🌟💙

Izzy has grown so much in confidence and consistency, while continuing to make fantastic improvements to her technique.

We were incredibly proud to see her represent our friends at Dunedin Dance Academy at the Dance World Cup, and she followed that with a brilliant performance at Airth Highland Games. It was a pleasure to watch her dance with such strength, confidence and beautiful technique, earning 1st place in all six qualifying dances before finishing the day as the Novice Championship Runner-Up.

July has been a fantastic month for Izzy, and we couldn’t be prouder. So well deserved! 💙👏
