🤩 A huge thank you you to these absolute superstars who helped raise over £2K at our horse racing night yesterday! Pioneered by Kirsty M, these funds will go towards getting our G.A.T.E Dance World Cup team to the finals in Dublin in July. As you can imagine, with travel costs and entries fees, it can all add up but the experience the students gain and the joy of putting Guernsey on the international map dance wise is worth all the hard work.
A huge thank you also to Sharon and all her staff at the Hampshire Lodge for all their help and wonderful hospitality! We all had a great night out! 🐎

⭐️ ALUMNI SUCCESS ⭐️

WOW!!! We are bursting with pride. Our amazing alumni Rachel MacDougall has just been announced as a lead in the West Ends “Beetlejuice”!!!! How incredible is that.

Rachel will be playing Girl Scout and also first cover Lydia! If you know the show you know this is huge and we really could not be prouder.

Rachel joined us at GATE at 8 years old doing ballet and quickly picked up all the classes we had to offer as she showed so much promise… and now she’s going to be a West End leading lady.

We can’t wait to watch you shine Rachel MacDougall 💜 flying the GATE family flag so high. Such a star! 🌟

⭐️ SKI BALLET ⭐️

Fun fact for you- Did you know Miss Catherine and Brian started off their career in ski ballet rather than pure dance.

We are so excited to be introducing this fabulous sport to Guernsey this winter with the hopes of training some locals up for the next Winter Olympics!

We are so excited for this next venture. 🏂🎿❄️⛷️

An amazing first day of our Easter workshop! 2 fabulous shows to work on, 3 amazing groups and so much hard work. Mamma Mia & Moana has been filling the Performing Arts Centre today and we have loved every second.
