Our set of exams in June 2024 were absolutely fantastic. We had our IDTA examiner Julie Sawyer to examine the students. We are extremely proud of every student and all achieved a pass rate of 83% and above! Have a look below at a few photos we have taken when handing out their medals in classes this week.
Here’s to the December exams!!
On Sunday 1st September we had one of our ex pupils Hannah Arbury come and teach a workshop to our RN group. Hannah trained with us from a very young age and at the age of 18 went on to further her dancing at Bird College. She has performed at Move It Dance Show and various other performances and her latest achievement has been starring in the new hit musical film Wicked. She now teaches various classes in London. She came with her own style to teach the students and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. Different style and different teacher allows the students to progress even more and see how London teachers teach. We will definitely invite her back to do another workshop and we at Fusion Dance Academies are very proud of all her successes so far. It’s just the beginning!!
On the 28th July we welcomed our friend and top industry professional David Anderson to our studio, where he taught a fun, full on commercial routine to Beyonce’s ‘Upgrade You’. The routine was fast but a really good challenge where everyone was able to find their inner ‘Beyonce’. David is highly regarded in the dance industry with his work including, working in Performers College and Evolution Dance College. He has also worked with Rihanna, Jay-Z, One Direction and Olly Murs, among many others. The 2 hour workshop was fab and everyone came away with inspiration and motivation. A massive thank you to David and we look forward to having you with us once again!
After finally coming down after the show I can honestly say what an amazing show it was! All the hard work of putting it together, choreographing, costumes, teaching everyone has all been worth it. So proud of each and every one of the dancers that took part. We have had great feedback and just so incredibly proud of how hard you all worked! Thank you to all our teachers for all your dedication and hard work to help us get through it. It’s been a crazy busy year and can’t wait to see what September onwards holds for us all. Keely Colborne we did it again and we make a great team and keep getting stronger! Love to you all. Enjoy your summer everyone.
What another great year at our Annual Teacher Congress weekend in Blackpool.

Thoroughly enjoyed the weekend learning new choreo and ideas of fellow lecturers and members of the IDTA and social evenings with fancy dress one night and dressing up in our finest for the next night.
Now to recover. Until next year Congress.
