We hope you have all had a lovely summer break! We have had a very busy year so far and still have so much to look forward to!
Showcase of Dance
We had our very first show in May and what a success it was! We had 450 audience members, with 150 students taking part. We have had so much lovely feedback and comments and can’t wait to put on our next show soon! Thank you to the wonderful Paul Watson for taking such fabulous photos of our dancers along with Mike Greig from 360 tours who videoed the day for us.
De Gruchy Charity Event
Back in June, we were invited by De Gruchy to perform our flash mob routine in store in aid of Mind Jersey. Our students had a great time performing to the public and it was great experience for them!
Competition Team
Our competition team took part in a variety of competitions this year such as the Jersey Eisteddfod, The Jersey Dance Awards and the CIDC. We have had lots of great results this year and look forward to welcoming new students to our team who will start competing with us next year!
Summer Camp
Back for it’s second year, we had our popular summer camp for 7-11 years. Our camp was filled with a variety of students with different dance backgrounds so it was lovely for students to make new friends throughout the week. We had a variety of guest teachers teaching at our camp such as, Ciara Lambert our Acro & Tumble teacher, Paris Nield teaching DDMIX & Lyrical from The Dance Collective, Helen from Hoops & Glitter offered two Hoola Hooping workshops & Charlotte Moore delivered an afternoon of movement and contemporary. It was safe to say that the students experienced a variety of genres and teachers throughout the week and had a great time! We look forward to our next summer camp.
Battle of Flowers
In August, we took part in the Battle of Flowers for the first time, performing in front of the Pirates & Princess Float for St Brelades Battle of Flowers Association. Our students had great fun learning their dance routine, and although the float broke down and was not able to take part in the day parade, our students adapted well and still took part! We look forward to the Christmas parade and hope to be invited to take part again next year.
Vibrant Lifestyle & Wedding Fayre
This weekend we were invited along to the lifestyle and wedding Fayre to perform a variety of routines. Our flash mob performed along with a Tap Soloist, Jazz Soloist & Ballet Soloist. Thank you to Vibrant Jersey for asking us along, we all had a great time!
This Term
We have lots of exciting things happening this term! Some of our students will be taking their ISTD Ballet & Modern Exams, we have made a start on new solos & duets for our competition team and have lots more students joining our team this year! Our Acro students will have the option to take part in the JMDS class awards too. More information will follow for this soon!
