Lochgelly dance school takes to the stage to mark 25th birthday

Zodiac School of Dance held its annual show on Friday and Saturday and the celebrations continued on Sunday when it was named Competitive School of the Year at the prestigious Scottish Dance Awards.

The award recognises outstanding performance, dedication, and success in competitive dance across Scotland.

The win came in the same weekend of a special show put on by Zodiac performers to mark the milestone.

Over the years, Zodiac has built a reputation for excellence, producing confident, expressive dancers and winning countless awards at regional and national level.

Stacey said the school has become a second home to many, creating a nurturing and inspiring environment for children, teens, and now adults too with the launch of a brand-new adult class this term.

The celebratory annual show included an array of former and current pupils who came together to mark the special anniversary.

"It ended with the future and had the littlest ones so from the eldest generation right through to the future."
