Preparing for ballet exams takes dedication, discipline, and focus. Throughout the season, our LHSD dancers worked hard in every class. They refined their technique, built strength, and grew in confidence.

Ballet exams are an important milestone for each student. For some dancers, this was their first exam; for others, it was another step in their training journey. In every case, our students demonstrated commitment, poise, and artistry.

We thank our dedicated faculty for their guidance and support, and our LHSD families for encouraging our students every step of the way.  We also thank our volunteers, who helped to make the day run smoothly.
