Congratulations to Miss Lynda on her retirement as an Examiner for the IDTA after 42 years of dedicated service, an incredible achievement! ✨

During those years, she was a proud member and Head of the Ballet Faculty, responsible for devising the syllabus that is now used worldwide.

Her dedication to the association and her mentorship of us all has been invaluable. We at Cardwell Theatre School are so lucky to have her. 🥰

We had a lovely time celebrating her achievement and her being awarded the Honorary Examiner title at the IDTA World Dance Convention at the weekend. See the video of her well deserved standing ovation from all the examiners in the comments. She is so loved and respected by everyone! ❤️
