Congratulations to Zara A (U5), who has won the South East IDTA Grade 5 Ballet Award! To be eligible for this accolade, Zara had to rank among the top 10% of IDTA ballet pupils in the country – an achievement made possible by her outstanding 96% in Grade 5 this past July.

Zara’s dedication to dance is also matched by her musical talent.

Over the half term break, Zara will showcase her talents as a soloist in a variety of styles, including tap, ballet, lyrical, modern, character, choreography, vocal, musical theatre and, for the first time, National Dance, where she has chosen to perform India. She will also take part in a duet, trio and quartet demonstrating her versatility and teamwork in performance.

We wish Zara the very best as she continues to excel across so many disciplines – she is truly King’spirational.
