Shout out to our seniors who sat exams too. The quiet achievers. The ones who have been here 13 years. The ones who our juniors look up to. The ones who battled through the exams sick, or with two right shoes 🫣🤭 🩰

Four long days with 100 kids sitting Royal Academy of Dance NZ exams from Pre-Primary - Advanced 1. Congratulations to all those who completed their exams!! 🩰🩰

Could not have done it without fabulous my team of teachers Kt Parry and Jaimee Lawrence plus without the help of Jess A on music.

Plus massive shout out to Jenny Wu and the Wuwu girls for helping set up, pack up and run the ship while the chaos unfolded downstairs. And of course my family and Beata on her superstar hairdos.

More photos to come once all has calmed down again. But a few of our faves from the sessions.

The return of Dancer of the month. No one more deserving in every teachers eyes this month than Lily 🩰. Working hard for 2 major exams coming up by attending extra lessons all week long. Lily is a delight to teach as every correction is given the focus and dedication needed. She also is the very deserving recipient of products from sahlo | tween + teen skincare ❤️
