Azure Theatre School in Marlow, headed by principal Kelly-Marie Gibbs, earned multiple podium finishes at the All England Dance National Finals in Eastbourne, following months of qualifying rounds. Among the standout successes was Emily Meats, who was named national champion in the senior musical theatre solo category before being crowned the overall national champion of champions. Ms Gibbs said: "We have always believed in providing industry-leading musical theatre training while maintaining a supportive, family atmosphere. Founded in 2007, Azure Theatre School trains more than 200 students in dance, musical theatre, singing, and drama, with many graduates progressing to top vocational colleges and professional careers in the performing arts. "They represented Azure Theatre School with incredible maturity, kindness and passion, and that is something every one of them should be immensely proud of."
