We are beyond proud to share the incredible results from our very first cohort of Royal Ballet School exams. The Royal Ballet School is one of the most prestigious ballet institutions in the world, known for its high standards and dedication to excellence.

Our talented dancers have truly risen to the challenge, with an outstanding 30% achieving Distinction and the remaining 70% receiving a High Distinction!

We couldn’t be prouder of the hard work, dedication, and artistry each student displayed. What a testament to our amazing principal and RBS teacher, Suzanne Stuart-Burke. This is only the beginning!

Also, check out the amazing comments given by our moderator - “Congratulations on an extremely well run, constructed assessment submission. The focus on the commitment from the students was a pleasure to watch and the detail in their work was a testament to the quality of teaching. The successful implementation of the affiliated program in Art of Dance is exemplary.”
