We received a truly outstanding set of ballet and modern exam results over the Easter break, huge congratulations to all the girls involved for their hard work and dedication. Special mention to Maddy (SFC2) who passed her Advanced 2 ballet exam with High Merit. Maddy is the first girl to do all five of her vocational ballet exams here at CLC.
Xuan Xuan (UC5) received 90 out of 100 for her Advanced 2 ballet exam, the highest mark received by any CLC dancer and now qualifies to apply for entry in the prestigious Fonteyn Competition later this year.
In the Spring Term 11 LC2-SFC1 pupils attended the International Festival of Dance and Performing Arts at Disneyland Paris. The pupils participated in a competition against other dance schools as well as a workshop with the Disney choreographers. They took part in the pre-parade, dancing with all the other competitors around the park, as well as spending time in the Disneyland parks, watching the fireworks and terrifying Miss Scott on Tower of Terror.
The pupils performed excellently throughout the trip, but their achievements in the competition were exceptional. As a group, they were entered into six different categories and placed 1st or 3rd in every single category.
