Our exams are now over & the results are in! Brilliant work by
everyone involved. Our examiner was delighted not only by the high
standard but by the behaviour & good manners of everyone taking
part. A big pat on the back to you all!! The Starlite group had almost 100 entries & all were successful
with some lovely comments on the report sheets. There were 53 other
exam entries from 1st Steps to 1st Award. 48 pupils earned the highest
mark of highly commended & the remaining 5 earned the 2nd highest,
commended. Fantastic results. Well done everyone.
Congratulations to Amy & Alan. Baby Lewis arrived today safe
& well! Some say he has goalkeepers hands but we prefer JAZZ
HANDS!!!! December 08
Our next set of examinations will take place on Sunday 07th December
from 1.00pm. Everyone has been working really hard towards these over
the last couple of months and we're hoping the results will reflect
this.
The first weekend of December should see our Senior class coming up to the Loft to put the Christmas decorations up. This event was a great success last year with everyone staying on after the hard work to play games, watch DVDs, eat & generally let our hair down having a good time! Would you believe that some people were CHEATING at musical chairs!!!!!!!!!!!

No doubt you are all aware by now that Amy is having a baby! She has stopped teaching class for the time being & we welcome Nicola Duffy who will be teaching our Clackmannan & Cheerleading classes. Nicola is a very well qualified choreographer & dance teacher & I'm sure we will learn lots from her while she is with us. I'm sure you will join with me in welcoming Nicola & wishing Amy all the best while she is on maternity leave. We look forward to her return early next year.

Our official opening was hosted by Tim Noble who conducted 2 fabulous workshops with our students. Tim is most famous for his work with Kylie Minogue (he was her dance captain & choreographer for several years) but he has also worked with many other stars & on various TV shows including X factor. Everyone who took part thoroughly enjoyed their day with Tim & his fantastic assistant Sarah.
