Awards give students an added incentive to thrive in their studies, and help to create a healthy air of competition. Downland Dance strives to promote good discipline and education both in the studio and in daily life, and our awards recognise students who have set a particularly good example. The awards are gifted at our Annual Awards Ceremony, usually held after our last Summer Show Performance.
