New Creations79 was set up by Ellie Phillips at Studio 79 to allow schools, colleges, Academies and youth groups in Leicester and Leicestershire the opportunity to celebrate and share dance work and to experience what it is like to perform in a professional venue.
The event took place on Sunday 13th March and was a huge success. The day was challenging and exhaustive and students were thoroughly tested on their abilities to rehearse and perform. They participated in a dance workshop, performed a technical rehearsal, a dress rehearsal before finally delivering the showcase performance. Both groups performed professionally, demonstrating good technical and interpretive skills conducive to the chosen style. The Bollywood Fusion piece oozed with energy and passion and the contemporary BTEC dance piece was controlled, technical and strong. All of the students involved showed great commitment and dedication, attending extra after school rehearsals and even organised additional practices at home. They were exceptional ambassadors were an absolute credit to themselves and the school. |
‘Congratulations on a fantastic show!!!We hope that everyone had a wonderful time yesterday and thank you so much for all your hard work and support. Your students were a credit to you, both on and off the stage and were professional at all times. Our main goal was that all the students were given a wonderful and enjoyable experience – we hope this was the case!’
