In July the cohort pirouetted, jived, mamboed and everything in between to a 100 per cent pass rate in ballet, modern stage and jazz, tap, contemporary and street dance, with most pupils gaining distinctions.

Students of all ages gave a performance at Lancing Parish Hall, before the main event got underway.

This year the school was again featured in the BBC documentary on New Years Eve about the Royal Ballet School and past pupil Francesca Hayward, who trained at Le Serve and who is now a principal of the Royal Ballet company at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, has received great accolades for her performances in Manon and Giselle.

A raffle was held in the afternoon, with proceeds donated to Rainbow Trust.
