Ballet and Dance
Students Achievements
Our Ballet students are continuing to do very well in the Eisteddfods. This week Tabitha Galvin placed 2nd in the Extreme Dance Competition with her Classical Ballet Solo. A wonderful achievement! Well done Tabitha.
Please Note
Next week is Class Watching Week.
All parents and friends are welcome to watch classes on Tuesday 19 –Sat 23 June. Please note that this is a time change from previous terms. The children have been sent home with a note. It is a great opportunity to see the students showcase what they have learnt this term and also getting the students used to an audience if they are coming up to an exam.
Last day of Term
Our classes will be on as usual on Friday 29 June. Please make sure your children take all their belongings with them when they leave for holidays. If you are already missing school uniform and/or dance gear, please take a look through the lost property box.
