WC 9th June 2025-Ballet Exam Week

Due to ballet exams taking place this week in the main studio at Hallhill from Monday to Thursday (until approximately 5:00 PM), we’ve had to make some temporary changes to our class timetable.

Please ensure you check your child’s updated class schedule carefully, as some class times and days may have changed. If your child’s usual class does not appear on its regular day, it may have been rescheduled or merged with another group on a different day.


Thank you for your understanding and support during this busy week!
