Our students recently sat their mid-year exams and we’re so proud to share these stunning photos by Frank from Love Wild - Wedding Films & Photography who kindly documented the magic of the day for us! 📸✨ Thank You!

It was an incredible day with ALL of our students passing their exams with honours (90% or more in all dances) and lots also getting honours with distinction (95% or more in all of their dances). This day’s success was a huge reflection of our students and their families commitment and love of dance. 💃

Roll on term 3… Showcase time! 🎶
