Dance enjoys a very special place in the senior school curriculum. The school has a qualified dance specialist and its own magnificent mirrored Studio where all girls from Years 7 to 9 have a weekly dance lesson: working on creative dance and learning a variety of dance styles, ranging from the Tango to the Charleston and Rock n Roll. In year 11 many girls choose the ‘Street dance’ option and work with Mark Franks: a professional dance teacher who trained with the Royal Ballet.

There is a Year 7 Dance Club; a Junior Dance Club (Years 8 and 9); and a Senior Dance club for years 10 and above. A number of girls are selected for the Dance Performance Group, which stretches the especially able and gifted. In the various clubs the girls work on street dance, jazz numbers, musical pieces and creative dance and all performers, regardless of ability have the opportunity to show their work in our fabulous July Summer Show: a Gymnastics and Dance spectacular held annually in the Sports hall.

The specialist dance skills acquired by the girls enhance performance in many areas of the curriculum, most especially in School Musical productions and the outstanding choreography that permeates our gymnastics and sports acrobatics sequences. We have some very accomplished and confident performers!
