Bhangra Dance Workshop 11th July
On Monday 11th July Shivanie Sachdev an ex Rushey Mead BTEC Dance student came into school during Period 5 to deliver a bespoke Bhangra Dance workshop for our current Year 10 BTEC Dance students. The workshop was great fun. All students were fully engaged throughout and the energy and commitment to the workshop was fantastic. It was such a good experience for our students to work with and speak to an ex student who went on to study dance at A-level as they could see a route for progression. Overall the workshop was a great success and it was lovely to have such a talented ex-student return to Rushey Mead.
‘I loved coming back to Rushey. Its so great to see that dance is still thriving here and that the students are so enthusiastic about dance. I hope to come back in the future.’ Shivanie Sachdev
Addictive Dance Workshop 12th July
On Tuesday 12th July, Laura Del Grosso came to Rushey Mead Academy to lead a dance workshop for our Dance leaders. Laura is a member of Addict Dance Company who are based in Leicestershire. She has had much success in her dance career, performing on X – Factor and making it through to the final of Britain's Got Talent.
The students engaged in an hour workshop in which they developed their contemporary technique, learning about how to perform with balance, control and fluidity. It was a great opportunity for the students to work with someone from the dance industry and develop a real understanding about the demands of the dance profession.

One of our BTEC dance students Priya, was truly inspired by this experience. She stated
“I am so glad that I was given the opportunity to be part of this workshop. It has given me lots of ideas for my solo choreography which I am currently preparing for my year 11 assessment in BTEC Dance”.
