💜✨ Championship Nominations 2026 ✨💜

A huge congratulations to these incredible JCADA dancers who have been nominated to represent us at the NPAA Championships in Swindon this November following our April examination session! 🌟🏆

At JCADA, we are immensely proud of every single dancer who chooses to step into the exam room. Examinations take courage, commitment and months of hard work, and every candidate should be incredibly proud of their achievement.

On this occasion, we’d like to give a special congratulations to the following dancers, who were nominated by the examiner to compete at this year’s NPAA Championships.

⭐ Tap
Gabriela, Natalia S and Romy

⭐ Modern Jazz
Gabriela, Natalia S, Romy, Amelie W, Eleana, Daniela and Ellen

⭐ Ballet
Amelia-Mae, Vilte, Fearne, Scarlett and Maria Z-P

We are so proud of every single one of you. Your hard work, commitment and love of dance continue to shine through every time you step into the studio. 💜

Now the exciting part begins! Over the coming months, these dancers will be learning and refining their championship solos, ready to perform on the big stage in Swindon this November (should they wish to attend). We can’t wait to support them on this exciting journey.

These 12 nominations, together with the 8 championship nominations our dancers received following the March examination session, bring JCADA’s total to an incredible **20 championship nominations in 2026!** What an amazing achievement for our dancers and our academy. 💜✨

Whether they’re taking to the championship stage or simply reflecting on how far they’ve come this year, we’re incredibly proud of every member of our JCADA family. Here’s to continuing to learn, grow and enjoy every step of the journey together. 💜

Please join us in wishing all 12 dancers the very best of luck! 🍀✨

💜🎶 What a voice! 🎶💜

A couple of months ago, Amelia was a little nervous about taking singing lessons… but we’re so glad she gave them a go! 🥹

Fast forward to now, and she’s absolutely loving her private lessons with Miss Debi. Her confidence has grown so much, and hearing her beautifully sing *Deliver Us* is a real reminder of just how far she’s come in such a short space of time.

Amelia, you should be so proud of yourself. You are a beautiful singer, a wonderful actress, and an incredible dancer. We can’t wait to see where your talent takes you next! 💜✨

Well done, Amelia! 🌟

💜🎤 Miss Debi’s Singing Stars! 🎤💜
A huge well done to this week’s fabulous Singing Stars! 🌟 We love celebrating the hard work, determination and confidence our singers show each week, and these three have really stood out!
⭐ Amira has really impressed with her confident performance this week and her amazing intonation. She sang beautifully and is growing in confidence every lesson!
⭐ Millie has done a fantastic job learning a brand new song and has really impressed with her breathing exercises. It’s lovely to see her developing such great vocal technique.
⭐ Maicey has wowed us with the practice she’s been putting in at home on her new song this week. Not only has she secured the tune brilliantly, she’s already beginning to think about the characterisation and performance too – fantastic work!
Well done girls! Miss Debi and everyone at JCADA are so proud of your hard work. Keep singing your hearts out! 💜🎶

💜 What. A. Day! 💜
Yesterday was another fantastic examination day for our amazing JCADA dancers, and what a wonderful showcase of talent it was! ✨
The variety on display was incredible...
🩰 Tiny dancers taking their very first Ballet and Contemporary examinations.
👞 Graded Tap and Modern Jazz dancers continuing their journey through the syllabus.
🎤 Amira proudly taking her very first Singing Medal examination.
🎭 And four very brave performers flying the flag for JCADA as they completed their Grade 1 Acting examination with our original devised performances.
It makes me so proud to see the confident, versatile young performers we are nurturing here at JCADA. Whether they’re dancing, singing or acting, every single child gave it their all, and that’s all I can ever ask for. 💜
A huge thank you to NPAA for another wonderful examination day. The quality of the syllabi and the friendly, encouraging approach shown to both teachers and students makes every exam such a positive experience. Every single dancer walked out of the examination room smiling, and that says everything. 💜
Finally, a massive thank you to Miss Alison, Mrs Mallett and Miss Kimi for keeping everything running so smoothly on reception throughout the day. Having such an organised front of house meant I could stay focused on looking after the dancers and playing the music without worrying about everything else happening behind the scenes.
Now we wait for the results... 🤞💜
No matter what is written on those certificates, we’re already incredibly proud of every single one of you.

🎭✨ WHAT DO CHILDREN GAIN FROM ACTING CLASSES? ✨🎭
Here’s a little snippet from our “Little Legends” acting class a couple of weeks ago, where the children were acting out a narrated mime story about a missing birthday cake! 🎂🕵️‍♀️
While it might look like lots of fun (and it definitely is! 😂), our acting classes help children develop so many valuable skills, including:
🌟 Confidence in speaking and performing in front of others
🌟 Listening and concentration skills
🌟 Creativity and imagination
🌟 Clear speech and communication
🌟 Facial expressions and body language
🌟 Problem solving and storytelling
🌟 Teamwork and cooperation
🌟 The ability to think on their feet
🌟 Self-expression and emotional awareness
🌟 Performance skills that support dance, singing and everyday life
Most importantly, our young performers learn to believe in themselves and have the confidence to share their ideas with others 💜
We are so proud of the enthusiasm, imagination and confidence our acting students bring to class each week! 🎭✨
