✨ NEW CLUB LEOTARD ALERT! ✨
We are so excited to finally reveal our brand‑new club leotard for all Gymnasts, Show Team and Cheerleaders — and we hope you love it just as much as we do! ❤️🤍💜

A huge thank you to Lilly and Ellis, who modelled the new uniform so beautifully. They’ve shown it off perfectly!

It is hard to see on the photo but it has spangles on too, a little added sparkle to each class.

We know some students and parents have been waiting so patiently (especially those who had a growth spurt before the holidays!) — thank you for bearing with us.

💫 Coming soon:
• A long‑sleeve version
• A specialist design for Squad and Show Team
• A new boys uniform

More details and ordering information will be shared on our closed page.

✨ Summer smiles and spectacular success! ✨
Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer, we just had to share our fabulous exam presentations for this year.

🌟 195 exams across all our subjects: ballet, modern, tap, freestyle disco, slow dance, acro, cheerleading and drama.

We are so incredibly proud of every single one of you. The hard work, the dedication, the courage… it all shone through. The results were amazing, truly too many top marks to count.

❤️ Well done, everyone. You’ve made this year unforgettable.

Lots of photos to share below, a few individuals as they were missing at the presentation.

📸 Please share your comments and photo below we would love to see them.

‼️ Sorry long post alert ‼️
As we reach the end of another incredible academic year, we want to take a moment to celebrate everything our wonderful Red Shoes family has achieved together.

📸 - Why not comment or add a photo of your favourite memories below.

💐 - Firstly on a personal note.
Last Thursday at rehearsals, Miss Sandy and I were completely taken by surprise when we were presented with the most beautiful bouquet of flowers, a gorgeous restaurant card, and a thoughtful thank‑you card from the families who joined us on our fabulous London adventure and from our incredible superstars who lit up the West End.

Along with all personal gifts, cards and summer wishes from individual families during the past few weeks (sorry some not on the photos as they flew to our tummy he he).

“Thank you” doesn’t feel big enough for what’s in our hearts, but please know how deeply we appreciate every single one of you. Our Red Shoes family is something extraordinary, and we are so proud of everything we’ve achieved together.

🌟 - It has truly been a year filled with hard work, dedication, unforgettable experiences, and outstanding success.

💯This season, our students continued their phenomenal 100% exam pass rate, achieving exceptional results across the board (photos to follow soon).

🏆- Our competitive teams have also had a remarkable year:

• 79 medals at the Gymnastics Competition
• 10 trophies and 14 medals at the Freestyle Competition
• Our Show Team and Squad performed at the prestigious Lowry Theatre, Manchester
• Our West End stars lit up the stage at the Shaftesbury Theatre, London
•A workshop with the Royal Ballet and Opera Company
•Lastly, our tribal dance display team were honoured after being invited to perform at the British gymnastics championships from all of the uk clubs.

All of this is a testament to the exceptional standard, teamwork, and spirit our students bring to everything they do.

✉️- Alongside these major achievements, we have celebrated countless individual successes:
Not forgetting College acceptances, professional job opportunities, Royal Ballet Associate places, new skills mastered, new friendships formed, and memories made that will last a lifetime. We could not be prouder of every single member of our Red Shoes family.

🗓️ - As we look ahead, planning is already underway for an exciting 2026/27 season, and we cannot wait to continue building on the incredible momentum of this year.

🌞 - We hope you all have a fabulous summer filled with rest, sunshine, and fun. Thank you for your continued support, positivity, and trust. We look forward to welcoming you back in September, ready for another fantastic year ahead.

🎉 - What an incredible finale to another fantastic academic year! Yesterday our Tribal Dance Display Team had the honour of performing four times at the British Gymnastics Championships — opening each medal ceremony with style, spirit and unbelievable talent.

🌟 - They were outstanding from start to finish. The joy, laughter and togetherness all day long was infectious, and the feedback we received from British Gymnastics staff, judges and spectators was nothing short of amazing. Compliments on their performance, their enthusiasm and their impeccable behaviour came from every direction.

💐 - A massive shout‑out to our chaperones, supportive families, emergency sewing heroes, and to Hayley (Darci’s mum) and Kim/Pete (Lilly’s parents) for stepping in to transport some of our seniors. Your kindness made the day possible.

Bursting with pride doesn’t even come close — our Red Shoes family is extraordinary. ❤️✨

Thank you British Gymnastics for having us, everyone was so lovely and made our team feel welcome.

🍀 - Wishing our fabulous Tribal Dance Display Team the biggest good luck today as you perform at the British Gymnastics Championships in Telford. What an honour to be invited to such a prestigious event — you’ve earned every moment of it.

🌟 - We are so proud of how much you’ve all pulled together, reblocked the routine, and added lifts in just two rehearsals. That takes teamwork, and superstar energy.

Go out there, smile, shine, and have the best time.
You’ve already made us proud. ❤️✨

🌟On Wednesday we were lucky to welcome Sian, a lead artist from the Royal Ballet and Opera Company.
Many of you already know how proud I am to have been selected as an associate artist with the RBO since November, every minute has been a joy, especially being able to share this experience with our incredible Red Shoes family.

Our dancers had such a brilliant evening in Sian’s workshops, exploring new styles and throwing themselves into every moment. You were all fabulous, and Sian said how much she enjoyed teaching you too. Thank you so much Sian, Miss Sandy and I loved you joining us for the evening too. Royal Ballet And Opera
