💜 A brand new chapter begins… 💜

Today marks the beginning of an incredibly exciting new chapter for Kenzie Railey, as she begins three years of professional training on the BA (Hons) Professional Dance and Musical Theatre course at Bird College Conservatoire for Dance and Musical Theatre in London. ✨

Kenzie, we are so incredibly proud of you and of all the choices, hard work and determination that have brought you to this moment.

Embrace every challenge, take every opportunity and, most importantly, dream big. 💫

That final class is always an emotional one, but this isn’t really goodbye. Stenhouse has been part of your journey for so long, and no matter where the next chapter takes you, there will always be a place for you here and a door that is always open. 💜

Go and shine, Kenzie — we’ll be cheering you on every step of the way. ✨
