Between these two dancers they have notched up 18yrs of studio classes. With great attendance and most of all a fun attitude, but yet serious about their work. Many performances later from sassy tap routines, mama trios, depressing characters ! Acrobatic team work with hours of rehearsals, le jazz hot duets, National dances and of course those all singing and dancing numbers. A life time of competitions sat in a different venue for most weekends, racks of costumes, make up boxes oh and the props! Yes the props.... !! road trips, hotels and those serious times ... hour long exams. Both students have had some great successes enjoying the highlights proving hard work can pay off. But despite the exciting times, there has and always will be disappointments in the art of dance. But these girls are true grafters and keep going. There are so many fond, funny, and actually comical stories they can share from their time at ads, we hope their memories are lasting. So a bitter sweet GOODBYE Zaccaia and Paige you will be missed dearly at Ads. Congratulations on your new beginnings for September Zaccaia who is going to Urdang London to study a BA (Hons) 3yr Musical Theatre and dance course. Paige joining Bird College of Performing Arts Sidcup Kent for again the 3yr BA(Hons) Musical Theatre course. Always remember our Ads message ‘Be yourself and go be you’ you have the wings now go fly. |
