A reminder for all new students to complete an enrolment form at this weeks class and return it to me by the end of the week. If you don’t get it to me at the end of class please email me through the completed form by Friday 25th September.

This is needed so I have finalised numbers for our end of year recital which is in 7 weeks.
Classes have made great progress in their dances and this weekend has been full of me choreographing, making music edits, and ensuring all our students can absolutely shine on stage whether they’ve been dancing with us for 8 months or a few weeks.

If you missed out this term classes will open up again next year before term 1 begins 😊

It’s results week! A few weeks ago our students sat their first exams and the day was so much fun. And now that fun continues as they all get to see their results and feedback.
Congratulations everyone on the best results I could have imagined! 🥰

Eternally grateful for our wonderful families and the beautiful community that is being built around ABDS ❤️
Your children have worked so hard and I was in tears of pride after yesterday’s classes. I can see how much time and energy you have poured into your children and I know that come Sunday it will all be worth it.
Our students are absolutely stunning and have blown me away!

5 sleeps until exams!
Here is one of our students demonstrating how to wear your exam uniform ❤️

A massive thank you to one of our local Mums Allie for printing our initials on our leotards.

It really is the final countdown! The hard work has all been done and this final week is about having fun, trusting ourselves, and leaning into the newfound confidence all dancers have gained this year.

In one week the hall will be all set and waiting for our students and examiner to arrive.

Exams are all about building confidence. The immense pride that comes from spending a few terms working hard towards a goal and accomplishing it is something that tells us we are capable of anything we set our mind to.

All of our dancers this year are new to jazz and tap. They have shown up consistently and I know they are going to do themselves, their families, and the entire ABDS family proud next Sunday.
