Congratulations to everyone involved in the All England Regional Finals (May 27 – June 11). We have 36 numbers through to National Finals in July 2017 where we will compete in this prestigious competition alongside other competitors from all over the country. Amongst our successes, we also won the Intermediate and Senior Modern Groups, Junior and Senior Song and Dance Groups, Junior Tap Group, Intermediate Character Group, & Senior Modern Ballet Group, with all other groups being placed 2nd. 13 Groups will compete at National Finals, a fabulous achievement for both teacher and pupil. In addition, Lily Hardiman, Tia Crowley, Ebony Merritt, Theo Simpson, Josie Westgate, Annabel Brennan, Emma Westgate and Rosie Brennan, were all chosen to perform in the Dance offs, which was a new addition this year! To get to the Dance offs was tough so it was a fabulous achievement for these dancers. Congratulations to Lily Hardiman for being awarded places at National finals in her Ballet and Modern solo, Tia Crowley for her modern solo and to Rosie Brennan for her modern solo and modern ballet solo.
