Risedale School is celebrating the fantastic achievement of Year 9 pupil, Evalyn Gee, who recently passed two dance exams in Contemporary Modern Jazz and Ballet at The Rhythm and Shoes Dance Academy.
Louise Richmond, a teacher at the academy, shared the news, highlighting a particularly successful exam session where many pupils received top results, including Distinctions and Honours. "I’m delighted to share with you that Evalyn recently took her dance exams. She’s such a fabulous dancer who always gives 100% in all of her classes. As well as her exams, she also takes part in many of our additional events such as professional workshops, pantomimes and shows. She is an absolute pleasure to teach, and she worked so hard and achieved a fantastic result!" she said.
Evalyn's passion for dance began at age three in Cyprus, and she has now been dancing for ten years. For the past five years, she has attended classes every Saturday at The Rhythm and Shoes Dance Academy. Her hard work and dedication in preparing for her exams paid off, and she achieved fantastic results in both subjects.
Speaking about her achievement, Evalyn said, "I was so happy with my dance exam results. I got a Distinction for my Ballet and an Honours for my Contemporary Modern Jazz. I love dancing and always try to get the highest marks in my exams. I'm over the moon when I get top marks like this, and I definitely want to carry on in the future!"
Her hard work has not gone unnoticed at Risedale. Her form tutor, Mr Dean, said, "I’m incredibly proud of Evalyn's achievement, demonstrating a determination that few can match in winning awards outside school, alongside meeting deadlines and a positive work ethic in the classroom. With these values, I'm in no doubt that Evalyn will see more successes going forward."
The whole school community is incredibly proud of Evalyn Gee's success. Her commitment to both her studies and her passion for dance is a true inspiration to her peers.
