Ballet Award Success

Two young CSBS dancers have been awarded prizes at the RAD Junior Awards Day.

The bi-annual competition attracted around 150 talented young ballet dancers from across Scotland. Over the day, they took part in repertoire, cheer and musical theatre workshops and were judged in their ballet lesson by Kenny Burke (Dance School of Scotland).

We were delighted to have 7 students gain a place at the event, with two being awarded prizes.

Caroline Newlands Memorial Award

This award is presented to the student who shows the most enjoyment and performance in the ballet class over the whole day. It is named in memory of a Scottish RAD teacher. The award was presented to Katy Russell (8) who competed in the Grade 2 class.  (Katy pictured above receiving her award from Kenny Burke)

Double honour

Lucy Hutton (12) competed in the Grade 4 class and was presented with the trophy for her level. She was then named as the winner of £200 RAD vouchers for being the best overall from the whole day! The vouchers can be used against future RAD events across the UK. (Lucy pictured below receiving her prizes)

Very well done to you both!
