Miss Squirrell

Today our Year 10 GCSE Dance students attended the Inside Phoenix: Shadows with Phoenix Dance Theatre. They watched Shadows, learnt repertoire, took class and analysed choreography, themes, lighting, costume and music — bringing this GCSE set work to life. 💜 #GCSEDance

Our dancers took to the stage with a powerful Afro-fusion performance created in collaboration with @PhoenixLeeds as part of the Yorkshire Youth Dance Platform. Blending strength, rhythm and storytelling, this piece celebrated culture, connection and the joy of movement.

Our LACD dancers took to the stage at the Yorkshire Youth Dance Platform at @PhoenixLeeds with a powerful performance inspired by Stranger Things. Through bold movement, striking imagery and incredible commitment, they brought this piece to life on stage. 💥

The stage is set. ✨ Lights up for the Yorkshire Youth Dance Platform at @PhoenixLeeds Our dancers are ready to share weeks of hard work, creativity and commitment. 💃🕺🎭 #YorkshireYouthDancePlatform #PhoenixDanceTheatre #YouthDance #Danceeducation #Performingarts #Dance
