As our six-weeks of LRD summer classes came to an end, we want to take a moment to say just how proud we are of every single pupil who has joined us over the holidays. ❤️

For six weeks, we have kept our classes running, our dancers in training and their passion for dance thriving throughout the summer. 🌟

Our pupils have continued to develop and work incredibly hard on their technique, strengthen their skills, build confidence on both syllabus and competition routines and as always enjoy dancing with their friends.

We have seen continued effort, commitment, teamwork, determination, beautiful smiles and so much progress in every class. Whether your child has attended one class or joined us throughout the six weeks, we are incredibly proud of the dedication they have shown.

We know that keeping classes going throughout the summer takes commitment from our pupils and their families — and we are so truly appreciative for your continued support. ❤️

We are so proud of you all. Keep shining, keep working hard, stay focused and keep dancing!

Our new term is just around the corner and we can't wait to make more incredible memories with our beautiful LRD dance family.
