Well done to BEAU STYLIANOU who completed both his ISTD Intermediate Modern and Tap exams today. Well done Beau 🎉

Wow… what a week! ✨

From our tiniest nursery dancers taking their very first steps on stage to our incredible advanced seniors, every single one of you danced your socks off. We couldn’t be prouder.

This was our biggest show to date:
💚Nearly 200 students
💚35 incredible routines
💚Many dancers performing in 5 or 6 numbers
💚Over 600 costumes
💚An audience of over 900 across the weekend

The commitment, hard work and dedication from our students has been nothing short of amazing, and watching every one of you shine on that stage made all the months of preparation worthwhile.

A huge thank you also goes to my incredible HDS team. As I said in my speech, you’re not just my colleagues, you’re my friends. Your passion, support and endless hard work make HDS what it is, and I simply couldn’t do it without you.

Thank you to everyone who came to support us and for all the lovely messages, kind words, cards and gifts we’ve received. They mean more than you know.

HDS has always been about so much more than dance. It’s a place where children can grow in confidence, build lifelong friendships, discover who they are, and always feel safe, supported and seen.

To every student, teacher, helper, backstage volunteer, costume maker, chaperone and every family who trusts us with their children… thank you. You are what makes HDS so incredibly special. 💚

Until next time… ✨
Love, Miss Ali 💚

It’s that time of year again 😢

Today we say goodbye to 11 of our Advanced Senior students.

We’ve known most of them since they were just 2 years old, walking through the studio doors and performing in their first show as tiny Robins with the best bum wiggles and huge smiles Watching them grow from little children into incredible young adults has been a great privilege.

We are so incredibly proud of every single one of you—not just for the dancers you’ve become, but for the kind, funny, resilient and caring people you are. You’ve worked hard, supported one another, laughed together, cried together and created memories that will stay with you forever.

This really does feel like the end of an era but you’re all ready to spread your wings and begin your next chapter and we are so proud of you.

Enjoy every minute today, you deserve it 💚
