A splendid Dance Show plays to full houses

March 19, 2016

Always a popular event, this year’s Dance Show was a sell out for the two days; one matinee performance and two evening performances. The matinee was watched by some of our own pupils and and a visiting prep school.

This time the genres/styles included contemporary, Jazz, tap, street and musical theatre with the performances ranging from large group dances to solos. There were 58 girls and boys involved from Year 7 to Year 13, the majority of whom only dance in school yet the overall standard achieved was very high. Some pupils were dancing on stage for the very first time and they gained so much from the whole experience.
