s another year comes to an end we hope that everybody is able to move into their summer holidays and reflect Aon another very successful year at JSTA. Dance Variations 2019 was a very proud moment for all of us. Seeing the immense hard work, commitment and camaraderie from everybody who took part is what makes putting on the show so rewarding and a joy for everybody who works with JSTA. Leading up to the Show in March was the very moving celebration of our 35 years and we hope that everybody enjoyed reading the memories of the school’s history. As the term ends, many students are still preparing for the All England Dance Finals being held at The Swan Theatre in High Wycombe. The summer term has been very busy with exam activity and throughout the whole of this school year we have enjoyed seeing the week by week progress of all our students. To all our students, teachers, family and friends thank you for being part of our school and we wish you all a very relaxing and fun summer break. Miss Julie
