Sophie's Academy of Performing Arts

Hope you’ve all had a lovely summer! We are back tomorrow!! ❤️ Tuesday 1st September, so Kate and I can’t wait to see you all again this week raring and ready to go 💃 🩰 🤸 xx

And now to our next amazing senior who’s off to university… Tabitha has been with us since she was 4 and again I’ve been lucky enough to see her grow up into the amazing young lady that she is today. 🩷

Tabitha genuinely makes every lesson brighter and without fail had us in stitches week in week out! I’m not quite sure what we’ll do without our weekly dose of Tabitha, but the world is your oyster Tabitha. 🩷 I have no doubt that you will succeed in whatever you choose to do in life and you’ll do it in style!

Keep being you always and thank you for having Sophie’s Academy part of your journey for so long ❤️ It’s been amazing!

Huge thanks to Tabitha’s mum for all of her constant support over the years and bringing Tabitha to me for so long. I really do appreciate it ❤️

Please come and visit when you’re home Tabitha we’re going to miss you! # # #

Huge congratulations to all of our Acro-Gymnastics students on your recent progress awards! 🌟 We are so incredibly proud of each and every one of you. Your hard work, dedication and determination have truly paid off. 🤸 Keep shining, keep believing in yourselves, and we can’t wait to see everything you achieve next term. Well done team! ✨🩷

As an academic year finishes it’s always so bittersweet to say goodbye to some of our long term dancers as they head off to university.

Edith has been with me since baby ballet and has just been an absolute joy! ❤️ From showing me your teddies as a tiny little one, to now- all grown up and beautiful both inside and out.
Thank you so much for being such a huge part of things for the last 16 years Edith, we are going to miss you so much! 🥹❤️

Thank you to Edith’s family for their constant support over the years and trusting me with the amazing thing that is to learn to dance. ❤️ I am forever grateful. ❤️

Keep being you Edith and I have no doubt you will succeed in whatever you do in life ❤️❤️ # # #

(Now I’ll see you in September to squeeze in those last few weeks before you head off and please come back and visit whenever you’re home 🫶🏻) # # #

And that’s it, school’s out for summer! ☀️ We hope that you and all of your families have a really lovely break.

Thank you so much as always for all of your kindness and support again this year, we love working with you all 🩷

Enjoy the rest and we look forward to seeing you again September 1st onwards, raring and ready to go! ❤️ 💃 # # #

Just a reminder that classes ARE on today in Cropwell Butler, so we’re looking forward to one last dance with you all before the summer 💃 ☀️ ❤️ xx

Thank you so so much to all of those who performed at Cotgrave Church School’s Summer BBQ tonight. ❤️ It was hot- VERY hot, we had come straight over from our Friday evening classes, but as usual you took everything in your stride and did brilliantly!! ⭐️ 👏 I’m so proud of every one of you 🥹 and hope you’re all super proud of yourselves.

Thank you SO much to parents for bringing the children and for surviving the heat!! And to the organisers for inviting us to your lovely school ❤️
It was a lovely event and we hope it’s been a huge success for you.

Like I always say it’s the people who make it what it is and how lucky are we with our people?! 🥰❤️ # # #
