Pupils at the Barry-based Anthea M King School of Dancing received their performance awards, medals and reports at a ceremony last weekend to celebrate their success.
The dancing school has been active for 35 years, and was this year awarded with Silver in Dance School of the Year and also received a High Achiever Award for Performance.
The event on Saturday evening was attended by over 100 people who were treated to a dancing display by the pupils which matched that evening’s broadcast of Strictly Come Dancing for skill and entertainment according to those present.
Vale MP Alun Cairns presented the awards, and commented on the quality of the tuition and success of the school.
He said, “Congratulations are clearly due, not only to these exceptionally talented students of dance, but to Anthea and Alicia King who have made all of this possible.
“I have seen both Anthea and Alicia’s skilful and nurturing approach to teaching dance over the years and am constantly impressed by the results. It is right that they have been recognised as one of the very best dancing schools in the country for their unwavering effort and dedication.”
