Wow! What an amazing day of Pavilion Dance delivery recently at Winton & Glenmoor Academies Year 8 Arts Day.
Sessions were delivered to 165 participants across 3 rooms with 7 different instructors throughout the day. Students experienced a multitude of genres including Contemporary Dance Circus with Joli Vyann, Physical Theatre with Jenna Hubbard, Urban Contemporary with Jazz Gritt, Contemporary Floorwork with Natalie Watson, Musical Theatre with Clare Nicholas and Street Dance basics with Charlotte Fernandes.
Jenna has such infectious energy. She plays. Which gives the students permission to play
Many students were trying styles for the first time, some enthusiastic and some skeptical (initially) but there were huge smiles and a sense of accomplishment by most at the end of every session.
This is brilliant. They were anxious at first but now they are all throwing themselves into it. It’s so good to see this in our school
A hugely inspiring day for all involved, and a wonderful example of how a school can still infuse the joy and growth that can be experienced through dance, even in in the current climate for the arts in schools.
