2019 - WHAT A YEAR!

12/20/2019

3 Comments

 
What a year it's been for Elite Studios; we don't even know where to start! 

We've had the most fulfilling and achieving year in our 13 year history. We hosted our show 'The Story of Tonight' to 4 sell out crowds at Theatr Clwyd, we put over 100 candidates through IDTA exams and maintained our 100% pass rate, and we won our SECOND GOLD medal at the Dance World Cup in Portugal in June, along with 2 bronzes.

What's even more exciting is that we have already started laying the foundations for an even more successful year in 2020. Our candidates have been chosen for January exams, we had 9 dances through to the January semi-finals of That's Showbiz, and our Juniors are heading off to Rome in all efforts to retain that gold medal at the Dance World Cup!

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for the most amazing and exciting year and the continued support. We can't wait for what 2020 brings...

This weekend saw the first time we had entered the UK Dance Class Championships and Elite School of Dance were superb! Massive congratulations to Isobel, Jenny and Olivia (who all progressed to the semi finals in Modern (Isobel in Ballet too) and also to our two youngest Eliters! 


Both Daisy and Amy made it to the semi finals in Tap, followed by Daisy being awarded 3rd place out of 60 tappers in the final! Quite a phenomenal result for a 9 year old! Amy then went on to WIN the commercial section! Incredible!!! We are so very proud of all of our dancers and love to see them shine like this. And best of all, these children had the best time, supporting each other, sharing the highs and lows and making amazing memories.
