The schools KS3 Dance Club were given the opportunity
to take part in the Young DanceMakers Platform, on Wednesday 20th
November, sponsored by Sportivate,
a 6 week dance project, allowing schools to work with Dance Woking and to
provide platforms for schools to enable them to share their work as well as to
gain experience of presenting it in a live theatre environment. The Young DanceMakers were encouraged to
choreograph their own dance through peer to peer support and by working with
Dance Woking professional dance artists. This is the second year that we have
been given this opportunity.
The evening was a great
success!
On Saturday it was the turn of the G&T Dance
Cohort. They were invited to take part
at Dance Woking’s Community Platform Innovate.
Sixteen dance groups took part and the audience were wowed with some
amazing, exciting and electrifying performances. Our girls ‘did us proud’!! Their sensitive interpretation of Matt
Walker’s choreography ‘Reflection’ was sublime and their musicality and focus
was touching; showing a maturity of movement beyond their years. Their journey so far has been amazing and the
dancers continue to grow and benefit from the G&T Dance programme taught by
Matt.
