On Saturday night, Miss Amanda and four of our amazing full-time students - Alicia, Devon, Poppi and Jackson - flew to Amsterdam to begin a 4-week long tour to some of the most prestigious ballet schools in Europe. Poppi and Jackson will also be competing in the 48th Prix de Lausanne International Ballet Competition in Montreux Switzerland at the beginning of February.
After a full day of flights via Abu Dhabi, the five of them arrived safe and sound in Amsterdam :)
Day 1 of the trip was spent doing classes at the Dutch National Ballet Academy, which the students all enjoyed immensely, followed by a stroll through the city centre which became very chilly after sunset - only 3-4 degrees! ... See MoreSee Less
Congrats to all of you,work hard while you have this great opportunity. Jackson I am amazed at how tall you have grown.Best wishes to you all,and good luck.Keep the info coming. CHEERS.
How exciting āØ
Good luck everyone and have the best time š
I have to agree with Leanne,you all look so happy and calm.You can see the excitement in their faces.Enjoy every moment and keep us all up to date with the trip.Love and best wishes š
Beautiful photos! All the very best to you all x
Enjoy your experience, go well š
What beautiful photos Amanda ! Scenery is divine and the kids look so happy xo
Last week, 49 students aged 5-17 years participated in our Summer School, enjoying six intensive days of classical ballet, repertoire, contemporary, conditioning, drama and aqua-ballet.
The students all worked superbly, and are ready to take on the year ahead with drive and enthusiasm, which we could clearly see in the wonderful Display at the end of the week.
Congratulations to our Summer School Training Scholarship recipients: Junior - Nina Shadgett Sub-Intermediate - Sophie Simonds Intermediate - Georgia Lorange Senior - Charlotte White
The Summer School Display was also a lovely way for the school to wish our Poppi, Jackson, Devon and Alicia Toi Toi Toi for their trip to Europe to audition and take part in the Prix de Lausanne :)
Gorgeous photos .... wonderful week for everyone !
Beautiful photos
