✨ Huge well done to our amazing dance competitors who headed to the Final qualifier today for their chance to qualify, you smashed it! ✨
I’m beyond proud of you girls and cannot wait to see you shine at Nationals 🩵 I honestly didn’t think competitions would be part of GADA’s journey so soon, but having you all by my side for the 2025 season has been such a delight. You’ve worked so hard in and out of lessons and truly deserve your place at the ISTD DFR Grand Finals 🩵
You’re paving the way for GADA and inspiring the rest of the school, I’m so excited for next season when more of our dancers will step onto that competition floor. Well done girls, you looked absolutely beautiful 🩵✨

#GADA #GymnasticsAndDanceAcademy

What an amazing day for our very first in-house gymnastics competition at GADA 🩵
We had over 100 gymnasts take part and it was such a joy to see them all shine. The confidence it takes to get up in front of judges and a crowd is huge – and the focus, creativity and energy they all showed from ,4-14 years old, made us so proud.
This wasn’t just about competing, it was also about fundraising for our new overhead heating system and together we managed to raise an incredible £2983!! 🎉 Thank you so much to everyone who helped make that possible.
A few special thank yous…
✨ To our brilliant judges Tracey, Jack & Erin – you were fabulous and made the children’s first ever competition so enjoyable.
✨ To our wonderful coaches Lesley, Bex, Ruby & Maisie for supporting the children on their apparatus all day.
✨ To Jon, Steve & Ben for keeping the BBQ going and everyone fed between rounds.
✨ To Rosie on the welcome desk and raffle, and to Lesley & Bex for running the tuck shop.
✨ To Coleman’s Cones & Coffee for bringing the best ice cream van! 🍦
✨ To The @theredlionmanningtree for saving us at the last minute with a microphone – lifesaver!
✨ And a very special thank you to our own family, who work so hard behind the scenes and are always there to support us. We are so proud to be a family-run business – it’s what makes GADA so special🩵
✨ Finally, to all the parents and children – thank you for bringing such fabulous energy today. It was so rewarding watching the children perform their routines and collect their awards, and we hope they made you proud and there are many proud happy children this evening.
As we finish our very first term at GADA, we just want to say how much we’ve loved teaching every single child that has walked through our doors. Thank you for trusting us with your children and sending them to classes this past term – it truly is a privilege, and we can’t wait for many more. 🩵
