Yesterday was a very sad day!
It was our last day all together in the studio!
We celebrated in style with an 80s pop music ballet class, a dress up competition, an award ceremony, games and a picnic(indoors as the weather decided to turn just for this day!). As I always say, this is not the end. It is the beginning of something new!

We wish all our pupils a very happy holidays! 🏖

Pictured our first and third years just before they left for the holidays and pastures new!
