We are so proud to congratulate our past student, Sean Hanley, who will be graduating from Central Ballet School in London this week, after three years of full time training which included classical ballet, repertoire, pas de deux and contemporary. Sean will be heading to Barcelona in September as a trainee the Ballet de Catalunya. CONGRATULATIONS Sean, and all the very best for the next part of your journey. 💪💫
“I feel extremely privileged to be graduating from Central with a BA (Hons) degree in professional dance and performance. Over the past three years I have learned and grown so much from incredible teachers and by being part of such a talented cohort. The support I have received from my parents, friends and my first ever ballet teachers from the Dance Academy has been invaluable. They saw the potential in me and gave me the confidence to open so many doors throughout my journey.”

We were so proud to get to watch three of our own past pupils perform in their end of year showcase with MOREA PERFORMING ARTS in Cheltenham, UK earlier this month. Emma and Mossie will be returning to third year and Aisling to her second year of full time training with Morea this coming September. The showcase was amazing, demonstrating the dedicated and diverse industry led training that our students are now receiving. So many strong, talented dancers and beautiful choreography. Congratulations on an amazing show and your exam successes in the past year. 💪 We are extremely proud of you all. 💫
