#teamcoastal celebrated Valentine’s Day with our annual mufti day on Saturday the 16th of February. This is an annual tradition at the studio with all classes celebrating by dressing in pink or red. We love our studio traditions that make lasting memories for #teamcoastal!!

Congratulations to our ballet students who sat their Australian Conservatoire of Ballet Exams in Term 2 with examiner Valmai Roberts. Of the six candidates entered two of our students received Distinction with marks between 90 – 100%.
Exams are a great tool of motivation for students giving them a consistent goal to work towards. If your child is interested in sitting a ballet exam in 2019 students are required to take 2 ballet classes a week with our classical extension class also recommended.
