Her unwavering dedication, exceptional work ethic and passion for ballet have led her to this remarkable milestone. It has been an honour to be part of her journey from her very first ballet class at ARDA to the international stage.

Congratulations, Zara. We couldn’t be prouder of everything you have achieved and can’t wait to watch your professional career unfold. Your ARDA family will always be cheering you on. ❤️
