Thorns Collegiate Academy Student La’myiah Shines in Performance with English Youth Ballet

Thorns Collegiate Academy was delighted to announce that one of its exceptionally talented students, La’myiah, performed with the prestigious English Youth Ballet at the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre.

The English Youth Ballet is renowned for producing full-length productions of classical ballets, featuring professional principal dancers in leading roles. The company tours regional theatres across the UK, providing young dancers with a remarkable opportunity to perform in a professional setting, outside of London.

La’myiah, who has been dancing since the age of two, is an outstanding example of dedication and passion. She began her dance journey at the Karen Yates School of Dance and has since gone on to perform at Disney Land Paris with Stage Coach. She currently dances with both Midlands Ballet and the Elite Dance Company, continuing to develop her skills and refine her craft.

“We are incredibly proud of La’myiah and her remarkable achievements,” said Nikki Jones, Principal at Thorns Collegiate Academy. “Her performance with the English Youth Ballet is a testament to her hard work, commitment, and talent. It is inspiring to see our students pursuing their passions and excelling in such amazing opportunities. La’myiah’s success is a shining example of the possibilities that lie ahead for all of our students.”

Thorns Collegiate Academy looks forward to supporting La’myiah as she continues to pursue her dreams in the world of dance.
