End of Year Awards 2021
Although we couldn't welcome parents into classes at the end of the year, we were delighted to present awards for progress!
After an extraordinary 21 months we were delighted to be able to commend our dancers for their effort and proress. Many of them had taken part in lessons by Zoom in a wide range of spaces; some had prepared for and passed exams; others had taken up more classes; and many had dealt with periods of isolation or illness... and they all danced brilliantly over the term and final 2 weeks. Many classes filmed work over the last 2 weeks so that parents could still see their progress.
For obvious reasons, we did not award badges for 100% attendance this year. We did, however, present certificates and trophies for significant progress and our preschool dancers all received certificates for completing their ballet themes. In total, we presented over nearly 150 awards including:
- 57 class progress certificates
- 80 class progress trophies
- 4 overall progress trophies
...And everyone's favourite part, THOUSANDS of lollies and sweets!

Overall trophies for most improved dancers
At each branch, we awarded a trophy to the student who our staff agreed had made the most significant progress overall. The branch winners (pictured below) were:
- Braes branch: Rachel Higgins
- Grangemouth branch: Phoebe Williams
- South Queensferry branch: Ciara Sharp
- Linlithgow branch: Georgia Rosenfeld

Most Promising Acro Dancers
We also presented two trophies to our acrobatics dancers for their exam performancs. Georgia Ormond and Ruby Grant were selected by the examiner as the most promising Junior and Senior candidates respectively in our Winter session. Very well done to them both!
Many thanks to all our teachers who have kept the classes hard working and lots of fun, which is evident in the progress over the year! We look forward to classes starting back on 5 January 2022 when we will be straight back into workig toward competitions, workshops, shows, rehearsals and Spring exams!
