🩰✨ Chelsea in London! 🇬🇧

We are so proud of our beautiful ARDA student, Chelsea Legge, who is currently in London attending The Royal Ballet School Summer Intensive! ❤️

What an incredible opportunity to train, learn and experience ballet in such a special place. We hope you’re enjoying every moment, Chelsea, and making memories to last a lifetime! ✨

Keep chasing those dreams! 🩰

✨ A HUGE congratulations to Wynter! 🩰💗

What an incredible week at the World Ballet Crown, where Wynter was awarded 3rd Place in the Sapphire Division (12–14 years) amongst an incredibly talented group of dancers! 🏆✨

Alongside this wonderful achievement, Wynter was also awarded two fantastic scholarship opportunities:

✨ Oklahoma City Ballet – 2-week scholarship opportunity
✨ Tanya Pearson Academy, Sydney – 1-week full-time training program

Wynter also received a $1,000 cash prize and $50 dance voucher for her 3rd place award! 👏🏼

We are so proud of the dedication, hard work and enthusiasm Wynter has shown throughout her training. What a wonderful collection of opportunities and experiences to take forward in her dancing journey! 💕

Congratulations Wynter! We can’t wait to see where these opportunities take you! 🌟🩰

SO THRILLED FOR WYNTER CALFORD! ✨🩰

Wynter has made it through to the National Finals of the World Ballet Crown Competition, placing in the Top 12 finalists in the Intermediate Section!

What a huge achievement and a wonderful recognition of Wynter’s dedication, talent and hard work.

We are so incredibly proud of you, Wynter! 🌟🤍

Wishing you the very best for the National Finals tomorrow! 🩰✨

A very special week at ARDA ❤️✨

We were so lucky to have our very own Amelia Townsend back home from London last week, sharing her knowledge, experience and love of dance with our students.

From dancing through these studios as an ARDA student, to now returning as a professional dancer and teacher, watching Amelia come full circle has been incredibly special. 🥹

It was such a joy for our students to learn from her, hear about her experiences in London and be inspired by someone who once stood exactly where they are standing now.

And while I’m incredibly proud to call her my daughter, I’m equally proud to call her one of our ARDA alumni. ❤️

Thank you for coming home and sharing your beautiful artistry with us, Amelia. We can’t wait to have you back! 🇬🇧✨
