We are looking forward to welcoming the school back to classes this week, Wednesday 14th and Thursday 15th September 2022. It’s show term hurray!!
…But first some congratulations are in order for a few of our wonderful students.
We would like to congratulate our Grade 2 student Freya and Grade 3 student Larissa for attending their very first ballet audition back in April this year. Both girls were chosen to step far out of their comfort zone and audition with The Royal Ballet School for their Junior Associates programme. Freya and Larissa attended their auditions in Radstock alongside hundreds of other applicants, where they took part in a really exciting ballet class. It can be a nerve-racking experience, but the girls thoroughly enjoyed their auditions, and it proved fantastic experience for both of them. Really well-done girls, you did the school proud!
We are further delighted for Larissa who, following her audition, was offered a place on The Royal Ballet School Junior Associates programme!! Unfortunately, Larissa is not able to take up her place at this time, but Mrs Andrea and the whole school congratulate her on this absolutely amazing achievement. Places on the Associates programme are extremely limited, so to have gained a place is rare and just fantastic. Larissa, we are all very very proud of your achievement.
Lastly, we extend more congratulations to our senior student Toby (who is certainly on a role with his achievements at the moment). Toby took his first RAD vocational examination, Intermediate Foundation, over the summer. Vocational examinations are a steppingstone to a career in dance; so much is expected of students during these examinations, and to pass them well is difficult. We are delighted for Toby, who not only passed his Inter Foundation examination, but he passed it within the top bracket and gained a Distinction! Congratulations Toby, another amazing feat! Mrs Andrea looks forward to starting Intermediate this term.
