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.

Our competition squads of 2017/18 competed in the semi-finals of That’s Showbiz 2019. We had a fun day with two workshops delivered by Jon Ford and Alex Ryan (who’s also returning to Elite to choreograph a lyrical routine for our Elite Competition Squad). Both ‘Run Boy Run’ and ‘Friend Like Me’ have progressed to the finals in the Liverpool Echo Arena in March 2019.
