We definitely wouldn’t be ready to start our new term without these fabulous faces! I’m sure many of you recognise a few teenagers from seeing them helping at rehearsals, shows, summer camps, and weekly classes throughout the year, we are so lucky to have such a kind and willing bunch who always seem to be volunteering for more (I guess they might not hate spending time with us….)
After spending today doing some helper training and prepping for next week, we are all ready to see everyone back to class from Monday 31st August. 🩰

We couldn’t let August pass without thanking the amazing guest teachers who came down for our Senior Summer intensive. We are so lucky to get such a variety of styles and knowledge for our seniors to learn from every year. Roll on next year already!

This Monday we brought some of our students down to the Enable Ireland Kilkenny branch for a tour of their facilities. Each show year we choose a different charity to donate the show proceeds to and this year, the money from our Peter Pan and Encore shows went to Enable. They do such important work for children with complex disabilities, allowing them to achieve maximum independence, choice and inclusion in their communities.
It was so lovely to see inside their building and get a small glimpse at all the services they offer, and it was great for our students to see what all their hard work has been able to contribute to. Thanks to everyone in the Kilkenny branch for letting us visit, and to everyone who came to our shows and allowed us to donate this money to a wonderful cause!
