We love this photo of Zak which now features on the @royalacademyofdance website ! Following his excellent Grade 8 exam result, Zak was invited to do a photoshoot for the Royal Academy of Dance. He thoroughly enjoyed the experience. 📷 @adancerslens - - #dance #dancer #boysdancetoo #ballet #balletdancer #rad #royalacademyofdance #proudtoberad #photoshoot #dancephotography #dancephoto #altaacademyofdance

Huge congratulations to our previous student Marcus who has been offered a place @royalballetschool White Lodge to start in year 10 from September! 🎉🎉 Marcus started his ballet journey @alta_dance 4.5 years ago when he was in year 5, having never done ballet before! He then successfully auditioned for London Vocational last year and we recently helped him with his Royal Ballet School auditions. We are so thrilled for Marcus! This amazing opportunity to train full time at The Royal Ballet School is not just a testament to his talent but also to his hard work and focus. We look forward to following your future progress, @balletboy.marcus ! 🌟 - - #ballet #balletdancer #dance #dancer #boysdancetoo #boysdoballet #ballettraining #balletauditionpreparation #royalballetschool #proudteacher #altaacademyofdance
