Results & Achievements

​

At JK Ballet, we take great pride in the progress and accomplishments of our pupils. Our results reflect not only a high standard of training, but also the dedication, commitment, and passion shown by every dancer.

Examination Results

We are proud to maintain a sustained 100% examination pass rate year on year. In the June 2025 examination session, every pupil achieved either a Merit or Distinction, highlighting both their hard work and the quality of training provided.

We were delighted to celebrate these achievements at our Awards Ceremony in September 2025 and now look ahead to the June 2026 examination session with continued focus and anticipation.
