PJ Dancing for Comic Relief

Just Ballet School Students Dance in Pyjamas to Raise £250 for Comic Relief

Students at The Just Ballet School swapped their usual leotards and tights for comfy pyjamas last week in a special effort to raise funds for Comic Relief. The event, held during regular ballet classes, saw dancers of all ages and skill levels showing off their best pirouettes and pliés while dressed in cozy sleepwear.

The lighthearted and fun event was a hit with both students and parents, who generously donated to the cause. Thanks to the enthusiastic participation and support from the school community, the event successfully raised £250 for Comic Relief, helping fund projects aimed at tackling social inequality and poverty.

The pyjama-themed ballet classes not only brought a smile to everyone's face but also highlighted the power of community spirit in making a difference for those in need.

2024 Winter Showcase

On 24th November 2024, 132 dancers aged 2 - 67 took to the stage at Kennet School in Thatcham for our second annual whole school showcase. We performed to two sold out auditoriums. Every single dancer went on stage and performed with joy and sparkle making me very proud! Some of our oldest dancers performed in over 20 dances across the 2 shows and were in and out of costumes before you could blink! It was a joy to see the whole school come together and put on such a wonderful show!

Summer School 2024

From 29th-31st July, 25 dancers came together for our Summer School at St Finian's School in Cold Ash. Over the three days, we learnt 5 dances based on an olympic theme. The children did ballet, lyrical, contemporary and jazz dancing as well as a variety of craft activities. The weather was very warm, so to cool off on Tuesday afternoon we had some water games and a water fight! On Wednesday, we were very proud to put on a performance for our families.

Excellent RAD exam Results!

The results for the Royal Academy of Dance summer exam session are in and I am proud to announce that we have achieved a 100% success rate. Everyone did extremely well but there were particularly impressive results for Shambhavi, Chloe , Eveylnn and Elodie along with Camille who passed her Vocational Intermediate Foundation Exam as well as her Grade 7. The hard work that everyone put in during their normal classes, exam lessons and while practising at home definitely paid off. Well Done!
