On the 20th May, we saw the return of the annual Dance Showcase. This years’ set of performances, showcased not only year 11 BTEC students but a range of young up and coming dancers within KS3.
All the students have been working exceptional hard in the build up towards the show, but for the year 11’s, they have been having to balance GCSE study, choreographing and rehearsing their performance pieces for exams and the show, and leading other groups that also performed on the night.

| Such groups were Essence and Salute dance companies. Both of which were student led clubs by BTEC students, consisting of students from a wide range of abilities and age groups. A great demonstration of the dedication and passion these students have to their dance. We also saw |
the debut performance of Rushey Mead’s first all boy dance company, Boyance, who took to the stage in an energetic display of style and acrobatic styled dance moves.The rest of the show consisted of solo’s and small group pieces, choreographed by the students involved or by their teacher, Ms Mayes. They covered a wide range of styles from contemporary, to Bollywood, to ballet, and even some tap dancing.
The show was also used to raise funds towards support for Nepal. Through ticket sales and programmes, we managed to raise £510 to go to SOUL, helping to make lives better for those affected by recent earthquakes.
All the students involved with the show, should be very proud of themselves, for putting on a great evening of performances.
