Teacher, Alex McGregor, Alyssa Collings who was awarded the Excellence in Dance Award for 2021 and Tara McKeown, owner and teacher of TM Dance World. On Wednesday, December 1st, the students and families of TM Dance World held their end of year awards and exam presentations in the beautiful setting of Racecourse Hill Homestead. It was nice to be able to get everyone together in a relaxed environment to celebrate the student’s successes for the year. In July, forty five students participated in their Acrobatic Arts exams, but due to Covid these were held online in the studio and our lovely examiner Miss Penny was on zoom from Australia! This was all very different for teachers and students to examine this way, but everyone rose to the occasion and we were pleased with how it went! We were delighted to award twenty one Distinction level passes across all levels. In September, over seventy students completed their annual Asia Pacific Dance Association (APDA) exams in Jazz, Hip Hop and Contemporary dance. This year was the first year we also sat Tap and Musical Theatre exams. All the students did so well, with a very high amount of Honours passes and ten Distinction level passes.
Along with the exam awards, we also presented awards from our year of dance. The Overall Excellence in Dance Award for 2021 went to Alyssa Collings. Alyssa has been dancing with us since the age of four. Alyssa takes part in our Elite programme, which sees her train in Jazz, Ballet, Hip Hop, Tap, Musical Theatre and Contemporary dance. Alongside this, Alyssa is also part of our performance team and a student at Malvern Ballet as well. Alyssa sat six examinations this year, passing all with fabulous results. An incredible amount of work goes into this and she completed it all with ease. Alyssa is a hardworking, dedicated student showing so much promise. She
has an awesome stage personality and is developing a mature style of dance. She always arrives with a positive attuite and a desire to learn more. We are very proud of Alyssa and how much she has achieved. We look forward to many more years dancing with her. Also awarded was the Most Promising Dancer, won by Eden Whelan and Dancer of the Year, was won by Aali Williams. All students are in their last week of dance this week and are looking forward to a welldeserved break! Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone! Tara McKeown, Director at TM Dance World.
