Happy Christmas
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our staff, students and parents for their hard work and support this term. We had a super busy time with two trips to London, The Circus Event in Tramore Valley Park, Tosca and Carmen Operas in The Cork Opera House, Christmas Cabarets in Douglas Court and Douglas Village Shopping Centres, Singing showcase, 21st Century Cheer and Dance Competition and we have 3 students representing Ireland in the United Teachers of Dance Scholarship Competition in Birmingham in December and finally we have several students dancing in The Cork Opera House Pantomime Beauty and The Beast which stars our very own Declan Wolfe in the role of Chip. Happy Christmas, Careen and Declan!
