Autumn Term 2026

Untamed 2026

What a wonderful journey it has been bringing UNTAMED to life!

Through dance, music and imagination, our dancers took us on an adventure through the animal kingdom, bringing everything from the tiniest creatures to the wildest animals to life on stage.

Each scene was a new discovery, a new world and an opportunity for our dancers to showcase their love of performing. 

UNTAMED was a celebration of imagination and teamwork and, above all, the joy of dancing together.

A huge well done to every single dancer who made this adventure possible, and a heartfelt thank you to our teachers, families and everyone behind the scenes who helped bring our wildest ideas to life.

Until the next adventure… 💚

Testimonials

Clare Smith

Student

AWDS has been my second home for most of my life. A lot about who I am as a person has been influenced by this place. I have learned a lot over the years thanks to the stellar teaching staff at the studio but the things I will cherish and remember the most are the friends, memories and fabulous times shared as a family.
