A busy Royal Academy of Dance Festival weekend has come to an end for another year!
We are so proud of our PCCC & KMPAA students, from our youngest competitor at 8 years old to our eldest at 17. Each and every one of them showcased their talent and dedication to this art form that we work so hard for.
