🌟 A Huge Congratulations to All of Our Students! 🌟
What an incredible day celebrating the 120th Anniversary of the NATD at Whitby Theatre! 🎉
Dance schools from across the Northern Area were invited to showcase the different genres that make NATD so special, and we hope we did just that with our performance. We wanted to honour the traditions of Ballroom and Latin dancing while adding our own modern twist, combining classical styles with upbeat music to create something exciting, fresh and entertaining.
With two performances in one day, it was certainly a long and busy day, but every single student rose to the occasion and gave it their all. The commitment, hard work and dedication shown in the weeks leading up to this event have been outstanding, and we couldn’t be prouder.
To all of our dancers – from the youngest performers to the oldest, thank you for your enthusiasm, determination and teamwork. You represented Jemma Louise Academy beautifully and truly showcased what can be achieved through passion, friendship and hard work. We think you absolutely smashed it! ⭐
A huge thank you also goes to all of our parents, families and supporters who attended, cheered from the audience and helped make the day so special. Your support means the world to us and to the children.
Finally, thank you to NATD for the invitation and for organising such a wonderful celebration of 120 years of dance education and excellence. We were honoured to be part of such a special occasion and had an amazing day from start to finish.
If you were there and watched the performances, we’d love to hear your thoughts! 💜
Well done everyone – we are so proud of you all! 🌟🕺💃
