Pupil Success
We have been open as one of the foremost Dance Schools in Thanet since 1996 and over the years we have had a lot of success from our students.
IDTA INTERNATIONAL THEATRE DANCE AWARDS:
Pupils have been nominated for the International Theatre Dance Award Scholarships. These are only accessible when a pupil is awarded 90% or above in the higher grade and Vocational examinations. Not all students gaining these marks will be nominated. The nomination is based on whether the candidate has exceptional talent alongside a good technical ability. Students have currently been nominated for scholarships in Classical Ballet, Modern Jazz & Tap (Ken Dodd Tap Award).
