We are very proud to offer greek as a competitive genre. It’s the most beautiful classical technique to both perform and watch. We will continue to fully support it within our school and on the festival circuit. ❤️

Leavers 2026

Our next leavers are the lovely Ione and Tiana who joined us at the beginning of the year. Both girls had been beautifully trained and we were happy to give them a home after the sad closure of Jackie Lynn Dance Studios/Starquest. Extremely hard working and dedicated girls who integrated into our school perfectly. Such wonderful additions to our senior group - Ione with her flair for tap and beautiful singing voice and Tiana with her elegant lines and musicality.

Thank you for choosing Performance Academy for the final leg of your dance journeys. We wish you both every success in your next chapters. We know you will be amazing! 🌟🩷

Leavers 2026

Next up is our stunning Naomi. Joining us at the age of 4 and quickly becoming a reliable and dependable member of the school. Always working hard and shining in our shows. She particularly shone in our lockdown online classes. Logging on to every lesson available and earning her place on the competition team. It didn’t take long for the medals and trophies to start rolling in. Her natural sense of stage presence and exquisite lines made her stand out from the crowd. A highlight was her winning the Class B IDTA South East Classical Performance Award. Naomi has always been a popular member of the team which was evident during the final performance of the show - tears were flowing! You have been a wonderful role model for our younger students who have all taken inspiration from you. We all know you will achieve amazing things in your next venture of becoming a ski instructor. Although I’m convinced you will be a TikTok influencer someday! So proud of you Naomi. Keep shining bright! 🌟🩷

Leavers 2026

As wonderful as the show was, sadly it meant the end of an era for some of our PA family members.

First up is our beautiful Grace. Most of you will know that Grace is part of Miss Emma’s real family. Grace showed a natural ability from the very beginning and had a particular talent for tap. Her light quality and accurate ear for rhythm and timing was something that saw her do well with competitively and also in examinations. There have been some tough moments for you Grace and it was difficult both as a teacher and a cousin to see you going through it all. But despite it all, you have found your path which couldn’t be more perfect for you. You will be using that incredibly clever brain of yours studying at Kings College London. I will never forget my little tooth fairy and tap dancer extraordinaire. Keep being you and shine bright. 🌟🩷

Thank you to everyone who bought a show programme last weekend. We managed to raise a fabulous £120 for this year’s chosen charity Cancer Research. 💜

It’s been a whole week since show weekend and we’re all slowly getting over post show blues! However, we’ve had a fabulous week welcoming lots of lovely new members to the PA family!

More show spam to come but here’s a little beauty of our youngest members taken from the wings. 🩵
