I hear wedding bells! 💍💗

Many of you will know Beth, who has been part of our dance family since she was a little girl and is now one of our amazing teaching assistants. We’ve had the privilege of watching her grow from a tiny dancer into the incredible young woman she is today, and we couldn’t be happier for her.

Beth and Leon, we wish you both a lifetime of love, happiness and wonderful memories together as you begin this exciting new chapter! ❤️

Congratulations on your engagement from all of us at ASAD! 🥂✨

Shout it louder! 📣

GCSE, A-Level and even SATs can be a lot for our students mentally and emotionally… which is why we love seeing them still finding time to dance 💗💃

Sometimes dance becomes the release. The reset. The hour where the pressure lifts for a little while ✨💗

A beautiful moment from Evie in contemporary tonight 🤗 Such honest, expressive movement and a reminder of how important the arts can be during stressful times 🫶🏻💯

We’re so proud of all our students working hard both in and out of the studio right now!! 💗

Show 2026 💫🤩🌟

LEGACY ✨

When I first opened A.S.A.D 17 years ago, I could never have imagined what it would grow into.

What started with a love for dance has become a huge part of my life - and a part of so many others too.

Over the years, this school has become more than classes and performances. It has become a family, a safe place, a home for so many young people to grow in confidence, believe in themselves and create memories they’ll carry forever.

To me, a legacy is about building something that lasts beyond trophies, shows or years. It’s about the impact you leave on people, the values you pass down, and the love and passion that continue through every student who walks through our doors.

Every dancer, teacher and family who has ever been part of A.S.A.D has helped shape its story, and I feel incredibly proud of everything we have built together over the last 17 years.

This show is more than a performance - it’s our Legacy ✨
