Delighted by Dance!

On Wednesday 4th March a group of enthusiastic students from Years 7-10 with a passion for dance visited the Mayflower Theatre, Southampton to watch the Carlos Acosta Dance Company. It was a wonderful evening which students really enjoyed. Watching Carlos himself dance in ‘Rooster’ by Christopher Bruce was momentous. Our group of Year 10 GCSE dance students were especially interested to observe this A level set work alongside ‘Faun’ by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui. The animalistic movement material was captivating and inspirational.

Albie (Year 10), a current GCSE dance student, commented “This evening just proved to me how amazing dance is.”

Evie (Year 10) added, “Even though I am not studying dance at GCSE I have really enjoyed watching the dancers. Their bodies and the shapes they create are mesmerising.”

“It has been an incredible experience.” concluded Amy (Year 7), “I loved the humour in ‘Rooster’.”
