The dance department had a fantastic half term with all sixty members of the Show Team competing at dance festivals. Dancers performed across the entire half term competing with solos, duets and groups in Jazz, Classical Ballet, Commercial Jazz, Lyrical, and Modern dance categories.
At the Royal Tunbridge Wells Dance Festival, a truly prestigious event, the standard was incredibly high, with dance schools from across London and the Southeast competing. Our dancers performed brilliantly, and received warm and complimentary comments from the adjudicator, who praised our pupils’ teamwork, their technical and performance skills, and their energy.
There were thrilling performances from our dancers in the 21 years and under Classical and Stage group sections. Our Contemporary Ballet group Get Your Ballet On, and Commercial Jazz group Glory both gained fourth place in their respective sections; a fabulous result amongst an exceptionally high standard of competition.
Huge congratulations to Bella and Aidan who also competed at the Royal Tunbridge Wells Dance Festival with their Modern duet in the 14 years and under stage duets section. Bella and Aidan were awarded first place with a score of 88 marks which earned them the trophy for the highest mark in their age group for duet performances across the festival, an outstanding achievement.
We are incredibly proud of our Show Team dancers who spend many hours each week rehearsing after school and on weekends. Thank you also to our team of teachers and choreographers, particularly Miss Bruce and Mr Doyle, who work with passion and dedication in creating and producing our fantastic competition pieces!
