An inspiring first week of residency at Tanya Pearson Academy with the incredible Paul Knobloch.

It has been a privilege to welcome Paul into the studios this week, sharing his knowledge, artistry, and experience with our students across a range of classes and coaching sessions. His attention to detail, musicality, and commitment to artistic excellence have already made a significant impact on our dancers.

Watching our students learn from an artist and educator of Paul’s calibre has been truly special, and the energy throughout the academy this week has been exceptional.

We are deeply grateful to Paul for joining us and look forward to the coming weeks of his residency at TPA.

A wonderful week welcoming back Medhi Angot to our studios! 🩰✨

As our regular Principal Guest Teacher, Medhi returned this term to once again share his exceptional artistry and deep knowledge of French ballet technique with our Full-Time, Transition and Accelerate students.

From precise port de bras to the elegance of épaulement, every class was filled with rich detail, generous correction and moments of real breakthrough. Watching our dancers absorb his guidance and grow visibly day by day has been such a privilege.

Thank you, Medhi, for your continued mentorship, warmth and unwavering commitment to our students' development. We're already looking forward to your next visit in August!
