Meet Kayla. She is 10 years old and has been training at Cathy-Lea Studios for eight years.
Her favourite classes are ballet and lyrical.
Kayla takes classes in ballet, jazz, tap, lyrical, hip hop, contemporary, commercial jazz, acrobatics and ballet variations.
She trains in the studio’s Elite Training Program which includes conditioning and skills classes.
Kayla received 100 per cent for her Cecchetti International Grade 4 Ballet examination and 100 per cent for her Bronze Star Jazz examination in 2022.
She was awarded the Noelle Aitken Junior Encouragement Award from Cecchetti Ballet and she was selected for the elite Cecchetti Junior Scholars program.
Kayla is currently rehearsing for State Youth Ballet Company’s production of Alice in Wonderland.
What Kayla likes most about Cathy-Lea is “the teachers challenge me and push me to be my best. I’m always learning new things.”
She wants to let people know that “classes are fun and everyone is really nice” and it is better than other studios in the area because it “offers a lot of different styles and you can pick what you like”.
Kayla’s favourite event is the annual Cathy-Lea concert, which is presented as a fully-themed production with acting, singing and dancing.
Kayla hopes you will come and dance with her at Cathy-Lea in 2023.
