We love watching our students shine

At Alison's Studio of Dance we have amazing students - and we love to watch them shine as they dance.

We believe in offering opportunities to all our lovely students and over Term 1 and Term 2 we have watched our lovely students shine while performing medal tests - enjoying a fabulous day of dance with our yearly Seminar (2024 Shrek) - participate at local dance competitions achieving special awards, championship placings and personal bests - and letting their love of dance sparkle while performing a showcase of ballet, jazz, hip hop and contemporary dance at Centre City New Plymouth mall.

So to celebrate 2 wonderful terms of dance for 2024 - we are posting some pics of our wonderful students from our youngest thru to our seniors. And yes we have an amazing class of adult ballet students whose love of dance also shines every week in class.

Looking forward now to term 3 (jazz and ballet grade exams, tap and hip hop medals) and then in Term 4 our eagerly anticipated Concert for the year - an event our students always look forward too where they can sparkle on stage :)
