✨ CONGRATULATIONS, DARCEY! ✨

We are absolutely delighted to share some incredible news!

Having taught Darcey for well over a decade, it has been a privilege to watch her grow into the performer she is today. Throughout her journey; she has shown exceptional talent, and determination, achieving so much along the way.

From successfully passing her Modern, Tap and Ballet examinations, to becoming an All England National Finalist and medalist, representing Team England on the world stage and winning World medals, Darcey has continued to make us proud at every step of her journey. She truly is a triple threat performer.

After completing her time at Emil Dale Academy, and receiving offers from prestigious colleges including BASE Studios and London Studio Centre, we are thrilled to announce that Darcey has accepted a full DaDA scholarship to the renowned Laine Theatre Arts.

Darcey, we couldn’t be prouder of everything you have accomplished, and we can’t wait to watch this exciting new chapter unfold.

Congratulations from all of your Ignite family! ❤️🖤
