I just wanted to wish our lovely Lauren the best of luck as she embarks on the next step of her musical theatre journey!
Lauren is off to Performers College in Birmingham next week to start a BA honours degree in Dance and Musical theatre 💙

Lauren has been with Shelly Academy for 16 years now so nearly all of her life so far!

I am so proud of you Lauren and I can’t wait to see what else the future holds for you xx

Ok so this September we are celebrating 30 years of Shelly Academy of Dance 💙

30 years of teaching,30 years of memories and 30 years of having the pleasure of knowing and growing with so many lovely children and families!

As part of our celebrations I would like to look back on those years and would love it if any of you could send me some photos,memorabilia,videos even of your years at Shelly Academy of Dance. I’m hoping to go right back to when we started in 1996. The older the better! 😊 anything at all would be lovely to see.

So if you have any old photos lying around (I don’t think we had mobile phones back then!) please send them to me either by messenger on here or to my own number if you have it
Thank you so much. It would mean a lot xx

5 days until we are back 💙💙

I’m looking forward to seeing you all and getting stuck in to the new term!
We have our show in December so it’s time to lock in and work hard 😊

Here’s a checklist of uniform if anyone needs to replace items for the new term.
Correct uniform and smart and appropriate hair is essential for dancing your best! 😊

See you all next week!! 💙

Proud teacher moment 💙

During the holidays Isabella and Matilda both took part in an audition workshop class to join an associate program where they get to take classes with professionals from the Dance industry.
It was a tough class against girls of all ages from across the region and both girls were commended for their efforts. Isabella was offered a place on the associate program and will start her training next year.
Well done to both girls 💙very proud of you x

On Sunday our competition team took part in the FSD festival and what a great day we had!

Every age group danced their hearts out and showed growth in their technique and performance. For some girls it was their very first festival which I thought they took in their stride and did themselves and me proud!

It was a very busy day with lots of dances back to back (hence why I didn’t manage to get many photos!) but each and every dancer gave it their all and made me very proud!
Well done girls 😍
