This year we held our 6th Sally Dennis Awards Night alongside Nu Moves Dance Studios 1st SDA and what a night it was bringing together the dancers and families of both schools!
The night consisted of in-house awards and a graduation which celebrated our 2026 leavers and our pre-school students who have graduated out of the pre-school class and into the junior schools. We gave out certificates to pupils who have been part of the JHM Family for 5 and 10 and 15 years to recognise their love and commitment to dance and Awarded all our Future Teachers with Certificates after another great year of Assisting.
The Sally Dennis Awards Night was created as a way to acknowledge pupils who have been working exceptionally hard throughout the year and to celebrate our dancers from all ages and styles. The staff at JHM all nominate pupils who are the most improved and have been shining in class and from there our SDA winners are chosen. Awards are presented for each style we offer at JHM and 3 main awards and some special awards too!
The 3 main Awards:
Our overall winner is someone who works exceptionally hard all year round and is always going above and beyond to better themselves as a dancer, support those around them and for embodying everything we stand for here at JHM. Their name can be spotted in the studio on the SDA winners board for years to come.
