Earlier this term we had the pleasure of presenting RAD ballet exam certificates and medals to our students who took exams last term - all achieving excellent results from high merits to high distinctions. 🌟 We’re so proud of them all - from the youngest Pre Primaries to Advanced 2! 🩰 We’re particularly impressed with the Bibby family - mum and 2 daughters who all took exams in the same term! Mum who took her Advanced 2 and her 2 daughters, Primary and Grade 3. All achieved amazing results. 😊 - - #ballet #dance #balletdancer #balletschool #royalacademyofdance #radexams #proudtoberad #radexamcertificate #altaacademyofdance #balletinbrightonandhove

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
