On Thursday the
13 October and Friday the 14October 2016, over 70 of our Dance and
Dance Extension students performed in our annual Dance Night – ‘Can’t Stop The
Feeling’. Students kicked off the event by performing in a full dress rehearsal
in front of the school which provided them with the confidence they required
for their real performances.
The three shows
were completely sold out and audiences were treated to thirty dance pieces in
the genre of contemporary, jazz, hip hop, tap, lyrical and musical theatre. There
was something for everyone. The crowd
was amazed by the talent and professionalism of the choreography, skills, costuming
and artistry which are a testament to the students and staff.
At the end of
the final show, awards were presented to students who had demonstrated an
improvement in their studies in the field of technique, behaviour and attitude.
These students are:
Year 7- Keeta
Fry:
Year 8- Jade
Plaistow:
Year 9- Jade:
Year 10 –
Heather Smith:
Year 11 –
Brooke Hyndes:
Year 12- Chloe
Herd and Riley Field.
The dancer of
the year award was also presented and was given to Alex Tomlinson for her
outstanding contribution to dance and her exceptional level of talent and
expertise.
We would like to thank everyone who
contributed to the running of the event. Your time and effort is greatly
appreciated and without you, this event would not be possible.
