GDST Day of Dance

Written by Miss Douglas-White

On Monday 5th December schools across the GDST attended the annual GDST Day of Dance, which was held at the iconic Base Studio in Vauxhall,

London In attendance were seven of our Year 10 dancers Bronwyn O, Jaan W, Jemima C, Juliet I, Kiki V L, Roma S and Sadie M

There were 4 different dance style on offer: Contemporary, Lyrical Jazz, Commercial and Musical Theatre, which were taught by some of the industry’s leading professionals The students were placed into workshops where they were challenged to learn choreography and routines in different dance styles from professional choreographers This did push some of the girls out of their comfort zones especially having to learn styles they were not confident with

One of the highlights of the day was the Q & A segment of the day, where students were able to ask questions to the choreographers and gain insight of how the industry works and find out how each choreographer gained their credits

A huge thank you to Kira Bishop from Putney High School who organised another successful day!

The potential for greatness lives within each of us. – Wilma Rudolph
