We’ve had a hugely busy first couple of weeks of the new term at TDA Studios, that we are only just catching up with our fantastic summer live performances this year!☀️

Picnic In The Park is always a highlight in our calendar of events, and this year was no exception! Our talented team of dancers drew a huge crowd of hundreds of people, and we are so proud of how professionally they represented the academy!

We loved meeting lots of new faces at our TDA stall, and we have welcomed lots of new dancers to the academy as a result!🩰

As always, a big thank you to This Is NWLeics for inviting us back to perform - We can’t wait to return again next year! And Thank you to our amazing community of TDA Dancers, their families and friends for being the best supporters we could wish for! 🤍
