Ballet Exams are done and dusted. A rather cold day in Port Elizabeth, so we couldn’t do any of our photographs outside.
Rene Callis came to examine our girls today and thanks to all involved, the day ran smoothly.

Well done to the following dancers who did us proud at the Talent Africa Finals this weekend. The floor was like an ice rink, but you all kept your cool.

Congratulations to all our Jeffreys Bay dancers who took part in Stulting’s Kunsfees on Friday the 20th of April 2018.
You all did us proud.
An extra special well done to all who got diploma’s and A Awards: They are as follows:
An exciting ballet boot camp was hosted during the April holidays by Robin van Wyk and Janet Lindup from Cape Town City Ballet.
Well done to all our students who attended.
Pictured are Chloe Domingo, Marie Louise Strydom, Karla van Rooyen and Einon Doubel.
Mikayla Lombard and Ashleigh Maling Nel also attended.
The children all enjoyed themselves thoroughly and we hope to see more of you there next time.
The Winning Table
Because we didn’t have our usual concert to finish off the year in style we did things a bit differently this year.
In Jeffreys Bay, there were two parties hosted for the different age groups. Please visit our FaceBook page for more pics of those events.
In Lorraine, the dancers entertained us with their own choreography at the Walmer West Primary School.
Each class worked together to choreograph their dances to present.
The audience had their own competition with a table decorating contest, so the atmosphere was most festive.
We were very proud of what all the dancers came up with. Just shows what a little teamwork can do.
Here are some pics of the event.
Our Judges
This year we had two and a half days of exams.
We were privileged to have Mrs. Erna Ackerman from Cape Town as our examiner, and all our girls enjoyed their exams immensely.
Here are some photo moments.
Well done on the excellent results girls.
Here is a list of the dancers who got over 80 percent.
Well done to all pupils who entered Talent Africa. They all made it through to the nationals in April next year.

Well, Festival is over, Concert is over and it’s now time to do some hard work again, as exams are coming up soon.
