GDST Day of Dance

Written by Alice Rowlands

On Monday 6th December, 7 NHEHS students were given the opportunity to take part in the GDST Day of Dance at BASE Studios in London, where we took part in classes with industry professionals in a variety of dance styles

These included contemporary, commercial, lyrical jazz and musical theatre This was a fantastic opportunity to try out new types of dance while connecting with students from other GDST schools We particularly enjoyed the musical theatre class with Ellie Mitchell, who taught a dance from the musical 'Wicked', the musical in which she made her West End debut

We also loved the fun and vibrant commercial class with choreographer Alex Schoendorf to Dua Lipa's 'Pretty Please' NHEHS student, Zara, was even chosen as one of the dancers to preform the dance a final time with several other GDST students to the rest of the group!

Overall, the day was such a fun, educational and fantastic experience, and I would recommend it to anyone who has the chance to take part in the GDST Day of Dance in the future!
