The Louth-based dance school’s shows, which were held at Louth Riverhead Theatre, had sold out within days and no-one was disappointed as the performances were said to be a big success.

Dancers aged from two years and up took part in a fairy tale themed show which included ballet, modern theatre, acrobatic dance, tap, cheerleading, street dance, and songs from the students.

Lisa Meanwell, principal and dance teacher at Elite, said: “I am so proud of how well all our students did during show week. We are like one big family and all support one another.

“It’s lovely to see all their hard work pay off and them having the time of their lives - we have some very talented students.

“I would also like to thank all the parents that helped backstage as the show wouldn’t take place without all their hard work too.”

An awards night was also held on the last night.

Dancer of the year 2015-16 was awarded to Victoria Best.
