Another of our Seniors leaving us this year is the lovely Alice! 💜

Alice is hoping to go to the University of Liverpool to study Social Policy and Criminology and we think they will be very lucky to have you!

You will be greatly missed by everyone here at our Moondance family and we all wish you all the very best of luck!

Alice’s Mum Vicki sent us this about her time with us!

‘Alice used to spend her Saturday mornings in the foyer at Moondance (waiting whilst her sister was in the pre-primary class). She was always twirling around and every week Miss Lee used to ask ‘Is she starting baby class soon?’ I eventually gave in and Alice has never looked back - going from baby class all the way up to seniors at Moondance. Moondance teachers are fantastic and Alice has made amazing friends - so whilst it’s been a whirlwind journey at times, it has been one we’ll both remember forever. Alice will be off to uni in September and she plans to join the dance society so hopefully not quite the end of the dancing journey. A big thank you to everyone who have made our 15+ years at Moondance so fabulous (teachers, mums and children) - we will miss you all so much ‘🌙💜

Another of our seniors is off to continue her dance training and the fabulous Bird College! 🌟
Izzy is going to be missed by everyone here and we wish you all the very best for the next part of your journey!

Here are a few words from Izzy’s Mum-

‘We were a little late to the party and Izzy didn't join Moondance until she was 16, but she instantly fit in and it felt like we'd been there forever. In her short time at Moondance she has achieved so much and that wouldn't have been possible without the love and support of the Moondance family.
I'm going to miss not seeing Izzy dance for you.xx 😢💜’

Well it’s the time of year where we sadly start to say goodbye to our senior students and wish them well in the next part of their journey.

The first of our students is Ruby who is off to continue her training at the prestigious Laine Theatre Arts! You are going to be missed very much by your fellow students, dance Mums and of course the teaching staff here at Moondance!

Her lovely Mum Kay had this to say about Ruby’s time at Moondance-

‘Ruby started at Moondance when she was 3. From baby class to 18 🥹 I had to do her first class with her as she was too scared. Fate bought her to Moondance as I worked with Russell for a short time and Sue Preston. Russell suggested Ruby join Moondance and the rest is history. Ruby is going to Laine in September. We’re going to miss everyone so much 💜 xx’
