And our UKYD 2026 Theatre 14-16 Runner Up is…

🌟 Elsie Mae Cann (trained by Mayhew School of Dance)🌟

Theatre Artistic Director: Dame Arlene Phillips

So incredibly proud of Elsie today at the UKYD Finals. Not only did she get to perform in the Royal Opera House, she was able to do so in front of an esteemed panel of judges, Dame Arlene Phillips, Sir Matthew Bourne & Matt Cole.

If that was not enough, and despite being one of the youngest competitors, she came away with the runner up trophy! A true reflection of her hard work, along with the drive and passion that she puts into every class and every performance. A real superstar! 🌟

Huge thanks to bea🧚🏼‍♀️ for her beautiful solo 😍

A great time spent at Triple Threat in Birmingham for some of our dancers. Lovely atmosphere, great venue, superb organisation and some very helpful feedback! Thanks to Jo, Nathan and all the Triple Threat team for such a lovely festival.

Congratulations to all and special congratulations to Hattie who was awarded the trophy for Commitment to Storytelling!

So pleased to hear that Florence enjoyed a wonderful week at White Lodge on the Royal Ballet School Summer Intensive! 🩰🥰

My favourite photos from 9 fantastic days of competition at All England Dance (AED) National Finals in Eastbourne.

Incredibly proud of everyone’s hard work and dedication which enabled us to bring home an awesome 31 medals but most proud of the fun and friendships which radiate from our gorgeous family of dancers. Memories to last a lifetime - or at least the next two years!!! 🤣🤣🤣
