Today we said goodbye to our lovely Izzy Ayton, who took her last class with us before beginning her training at Wilkes Academy in September.

Izzy has been a dream to teach since she started dancing with us at the tender age of 3, and that gorgeous smile has never faded.

We will miss you so much, Izzy, but we know you’re going to have the most amazing time as you continue your journey. We couldn’t be prouder of everything you’ve achieved and can’t wait to see all that the future holds for you.

Lots of love from your Hazel Bell family 💜

What a great weekend we’ve had at the Spen Valley Festival! This was a new festival for us, and it was so lovely to have the opportunity to compete against some new schools. We couldn’t be prouder of our students, who all performed beautifully throughout the weekend.

We now have a couple more weeks of classes before a well-deserved summer break, ahead of the excitement and madness of show term commencing in September! 💜✨

Thank you, as always, to Hannah and Gemma for your help and support—it’s very much appreciated 💜

What an afternoon I’ve had at Bird College watching our gorgeous Lucy Moss in her third year show, ‘Curtains’. A fantastic production and hugely proud of Lucy. You have worked so hard to get to this point and the best is yet to come for you my love 💜 the talent these colleges are producing is off the scale!

A fabulous weekend at the Dynamic Dance Festival. Lots of new routines and huge improvements across the board. The stand out moment for me was seeing our little ones perform together in a troupe for the first time. They were literally bursting with excitement to dance with their friends on stage and what an amazing job they did 🥹 Kudos to Hannah and Gemma for pulling off some amazing costumes, very last minute. They looked amazing. Hope you all enjoy a well earned Saturday off next weekend. Full results below… 💜
