Richmond Festival of Dance

We had a lovely time this February half term at the Richmond Festival of Dance, which is a qualifying festival for the All England Regionals. Young dancers compete to progress to the next round, as a part of their journey to hopefully be crowned all England winners.

Many congratulations to Tyrese, Clover, Sini, Elise, Matthias, Jennah and Arietta

Medal placements at Richmond

1st Clover - Song and Dance

1st Arietta - Character

1st Jennah and Arietta - Inter lyrical duet

3rd Tyrese Song and Dance

3rd Jennah Ballet

Progressing to regionals are Arietta with her Character, Ballet, Duet, Jazz and Song and Dance, Jennah with her Ballet, Lyrical and Duet. Elise with her Jazz. Tyrese and Clover with their song and dance solos!

We look forward to attending again next February half term, which will be a ‘practise’ festival before the following year when they can qualify for finals again. If you’re interested in taking part in festivals, do let us know. They’re a more affordable competition option at around £8.50 per entry, All England provide each dancer with written feedback and a certificate.

Congratulations all, well done for demonstrating such a high level of talent and dedicating time to new opportunities in your half term break.

A very proud principal - Hannah MV
