We are so proud of Scarlett, Tiffany, Amelia and Chloe who visited the Australian Ballet School this week for their Intensive Program as associates. It is very prestigious to be selected as an associate and a special experience to dance at the school alongside other talented students from across Australia. Well done girls!

Congratulations to many of our ballet students who undertook their Royal Academy of Dance Examinations this week!

Working towards an exam teaches goal setting, discipline and work ethic, as well as providing students the opportunity to perform and enjoy their ballet training.

Thank you Grant Kennedy for providing live piano accompaniment for our students. This is such a special experience and we are so lucky to have you.

A special congratulations to Amelie and Amy who completed their Advanced 2 Exam! This is the final examination with the RAD and a mammoth achievement. These girls prepared and took the exam whilst also at full time school, which we are so proud of!

Congratulations to our wonderful students who took part in the Youth Grand Prix Sydney Semi-Final last week! The students were so lucky to take masterclasses from Directors all over the world and perform their solos for esteemed adjudicators.

A special congratulations to Tiffany Ma who made the callback round in the junior ballet category!

We are so proud of Jayden Fu who was invited to the callback round for junior ballet, and then selected as one of the few finalists! He has been offered a scholarship to attend Joffery Ballet School NYC’s summer school in 2027! Well done Jayden.

We are so proud of Tiffany Ma who has just returned from a very exciting trip to the UK.

Tiffany was lucky enough to be selected for both the Royal Ballet School’s and Elmhurst’s, School of the Birmingham Royal Ballet, 2026 Summer Programs. These are two of the best ballet schools in the world!

Such a special and inspiring experience for a young dancer! It was especially exciting for Tiffany to visit Elmhurst, where NSDA Director, Sarah Eddie, trained as a pre-professional student.

We are so incredibly proud of NSDA student Jessamy Facer who was one of very few young students selected to attend Kristin Chenoweth’s Broadway Bootcamp in Oklahoma! Jessamy has an amazing time in the US learning from the absolute best in the musical theatre industry.

We are so proud of Liahna Tria, who has recently returned home from a very exciting trip to the US.

Liahna had a wonderful opportunity to be trained and mentored by the Juilliard artistic faculty. It was a privilege for her to learn from the Associate Dean and Director of the Juilliard School Dance Division, Jamal Callender.

Thank you TUDC for the wonderful experience at the Finals Night and Solo Competition!

We are so excited for Tiffany Ma who was not only a finalist but won the Junior Ballet Scholarship! Huge congratulations Tiffany!
