A heartfelt thank you to our amazing dancers for working so incredibly hard, and to all the parents for your unwavering support.

🌟 CMA Summer School is BACK! 🌟

After a few years away, I’m so excited to be bringing CMA Summer School back this year! 🎉
It’s always one of my favourite weeks of the year - packed with fun, hard work, creativity, and plenty of giggles.

I’m also thrilled to introduce our fantastic Summer School teaching team:

🕺 Jason Gray will be leading our exciting Michael Jackson themed workshops. Jason has performed in and been Dance Captain for ‘Thriller Live’, with an incredible list of West End, commercial and teaching credits including ‘Starlight Express’, Take That, and Performers College.

🎤 Our wonderful Miss Briana will be leading our group singing sessions. Briana is a professional singer who has worked as a lead vocalist across multiple cruise lines, and we can’t wait for her to share her experience and passion with our students.

✨ We’ll also have our incredibly talented Miss Elle supporting us throughout the week and helping to make the experience even more special.

Throughout the week, students will enjoy a range of classes, including:

💃 Jazz
🧢 Hip Hop
