The Bedells Bursary Competition 2023

The Bedells Bursary is a historical and prestigious competition hosted by the Royal Academy of Dance every year. I was invited to participate in the 2023 Bedells Bursary in London, after sitting for my Advanced 1 RAD Ballet exam in Malta and obtaining a high distinction of 85 at 14. ( in order to compete you must be not older than 16 and have received a distinction in Advanced 2). I was required to perform a ballet repertoire en pointe and a choreography created by me. I am proud to say that out of the specially selected 16 dancers, I won the choreographic award for my self-made neoclassical solo en pointe, as a commendation for creating an exceptional choreography. This was incredibly rewarding for me as it made me more confident in my dancing and choreographing skills. This is an experience that I will hold in high regard throughout the rest of my dance journey.
