Miss Kay announces her retirement.
From September, Redhurst School of Dancing’s Principal, Miss Kay Ball will be taking her own special bow as she announces that she shall be stepping back from Redhurst and embarking on a new adventure called retirement.
Miss Kay Ball has been the Principal of Redhurst Schools of Dancing for over 40 years, teaching students from 3 years to adult in Ballet, Tap, Classical Greek, Modern Dance and more. She has guided them through RAD and ISTD exams, festival work and performances ensuring that Redhurst’s ethos and high standards were always maintained.
Redhurst will be continuing in its current form with teachers Miss Alice and Miss Donna continuing to teach as normal and will be overseen by two very experienced and competent new owners Miss Kristina Hewitt and Miss Chantelle Kite as joint Principals.
Kay says ‘I truly believe that this is the right way forward for Redhurst. I am ready to hand over the baton I have been carrying for over 40 years to these delightful, enthusiastic and motivated young women who will carry Redhurst to new heights.’
‘Take a Bow’ on July 25th at The Hawth Theatre in Crawley will be Miss Kay’s last show, and the students and teachers are determined to create something very special that will live in memories forever.
Ticket news will be posted on our website soon. If you would like to help (always needed) or if you have any questions, please contact [email protected].
