A massive congratulations to these lovely girls on completing their final ballet exam with us, IDTA Advanced One. Watching their journey from those very first ballet exams to this moment has been so special, and it honestly doesn’t seem that long ago they were just starting out.

So much hard work, has gone into reaching this level, and every hour of practice has truly paid off. This is such a huge achievement and one they should all be incredibly proud of.

Well done girls, you’ve all grown into beautiful dancers and should celebrate everything you’ve achieved. Wishing you all the luck and happiness for whatever comes next in your journeys ✨🩰
