2021 Achievements

2021 again what a year it has been let us take a quick look at what that has meant for us as a dance school.

We have welcomed new students, danced in the studio and at home, zoomed workshops from professional dancers, achieving 2nd place in the dance world cup, students have gained places at very established associate programs and we have maintained the school’s 100% pass rate in RAD Ballet and ISTD Modern.

I want to take this opportunity to highlight some achievements this year

World Cup

Well done to the Thomas who achieved 2nd place in his Ballet solo for the England Team representing Miss Daisy Dance Team and BGS. Although we couldn't attend in person Thomas still managed to achieve this place by a video submission. I am very proud of Thomas and glad I got to work with his natural talent to achieve this award winning dance.
