✨ A Very Special Goodbye… But Only the Beginning ✨

Some students leave footprints on your heart, and Freya is certainly one of them.

Freya first walked through the doors of AK Academy of Dancing as a tiny little girl, and over the years she has grown into an incredibly talented, dedicated and inspiring young performer. Throughout her time with us she has embraced every opportunity—training across all genres, taking part in examinations, competitions, national championships, shows, workshops and so much more. She has worked tirelessly, always with the biggest smile on her face and a bubbly personality that has brightened every class she has been part of.

Today, we are incredibly proud to share that Freya has successfully auditioned for a professional contract and will be making her West End debut! 🌟

Whilst we are naturally sad to see her leave AK as she begins this exciting new chapter in London, this is exactly what we strive for as a school—to give our students the skills, confidence and opportunities to follow their dreams, wherever they may lead.

Freya, thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey. We couldn’t be prouder of everything you have achieved, and we know this is only the beginning of an incredible career. Keep working hard, stay humble, and never lose that beautiful smile that has made you so loved by everyone at AK.

Remember, no matter where your career takes you, you will always be part of the AK family.

From every member of Team AK, your teachers, your friends and all of our families…

Break a leg, Freya! ❤️✨

We will be cheering you on every single step of the way. Once AK, always AK. 💙

A huge CONGRATULATIONS to every single one of our incredible team dancers who gave it their all on the competition floor.

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that ALL THREE of our teams WON their categories and have now qualified for the National Championships! 🇬🇧❤️

Our dancers also achieved:
⭐ 5 Set Dance Qualifiers – through to Nationals
⭐ 7 Rock ‘n’ Roll Pairs Qualifiers – through to Nationals

🏅 Overall results for the day:
🥇 20 Winners
🥈 14 Second Places
🥉 6 Third Places
🏅 16 Fourth to Eighth Place finishes

These results are a testament to the dedication, commitment and teamwork shown by every dancer, teacher and supportive family. We couldn’t be prouder of the way everyone represented AK Academy of Dancing both on and off the competition floor.

Congratulations to every competitor—whether you came home with a trophy, a medal or simply gave your very best, you should all be incredibly proud of yourselves.

Now the hard work continues as we look forward to representing AK Academy of Dancing at the National Finals ❤️🖤

Even in air conditioned studios, last night was a tough one for all our students but with a qualifier coming up this weekend, they kept pushing 💪💕🌟 - All classes smashed it 👏
