We are very proud of our Dance students and lecturers and the work that they consistently produce.”
Alicia Barnett, Dance lecturer said: “I am so proud of all the dance and performing arts students in our summer dance show. Everyone has worked hard to show off their dance skills and even choreograph their own routines, which demonstrates creativity and professionalism. Our students have been dedicated to each rehearsal working outside of their class hours to perfect their dance routines. I am looking forward to the future ahead for our talented college leavers.”
Cherie, first year Dance student, said: “I have really enjoyed working on our dance show as it has given me the opportunity to show off new dance styles that I have learnt since joining the college. It has also given me an idea of what the dance industry is like. The whole college environment is very supportive and in class they have made me feel confident in myself as an individual dancer.”
