This term we said a sad goodbye to Catherine & Ada.
Both dancers have been a massive part of the school for over nearly 10 years.
Thank you for all the memories from Pizza express parties, dancing through Covid, feises, displays and lots of laughs at classes 🫶🏻
We wish them both well as Catherine heads off to University and Ada moves to France.
💙Louise
