Our school made its annual trip to the Gateshead Schools Dance Festival at the Glasshouse this week, but this time, we attended two sessions rather than one! 

One Tuesday, Year 3 took to the stage to perform their own interpretation of Alice in Wonderland, the culmination of their unit of work with Emma as part of the Royal Opera House Chance to Dance programme. It was great to see a different style of dance on the stage, as the children had the chance to explore modern ballet styles. They performed brilliantly, and clearly enjoyed the chance to dance on such a famous stage infront of other schools, family and friends. 

Wednesday night saw dance club take to the main stage with their interpretation of All In It Together from High School Musical. Again, it was clear that the children loved the experience, and that was echoed by the audience who clapped and cheered along to a song they were all clearly familiar with. 

The dance festivals are one of the highlights of the School Sports Partnership calendar, and one of the first events we pencil into our calendar in school. 

Thanks to the Gateshead SSP team for once again organsing and hosting this fantastic event, and giving everyone the opportunity to shine!
