🎓🩰 CONGRATULATIONS MISS SHELBY! 🩰🎓

We are incredibly proud to celebrate a very special achievement for our own Shelby Johnson! 💙🧡

Shelby began her dancing journey right here at Dance Express, successfully completing all of her Royal Academy of Dance Ballet examinations along the way. Now, she has reached another wonderful milestone, officially graduating from the RAD Certificate in Dance Teaching (Ballet) program! 🎉
This means Shelby is now a fully registered Ballet teacher with the Royal Academy of Dance! 🩰✨

Over the past two years, Shelby has worked incredibly hard alongside her tutor, Mrs Fay, completing the study, practical work and dedication required to achieve this qualification. We know Mrs Fay is exceptionally proud to have guided Shelby through this next chapter of her ballet journey. ❤️

On Sunday, Shelby attended her official graduation ceremony in Sydney, with her very proud Mum, Jenny Johnson, there to celebrate this special moment with her. 🎓🥰

From beginning as a very young dancer at DE, to completing her RAD exams, and now becoming a qualified and registered RAD Ballet teacher, it is so special to see Shelby’s journey come full circle.

Congratulations Miss Shelby! We are so proud of everything you have achieved and can’t wait to see you pass your love and knowledge of Ballet on to the next generation of dancers. 🩰💙🧡✨
