An Evening of Great Entertainment

Recently, The Downs School were entertained by an amazing array of talent during an evening dance performance including a variety of dance styles; Contemporary, Jazz, Street, Break and Ballet.

The performers were both students studying dance as part of their course and students from a variety of extra-curricular dance clubs which are offered at lunchtime and after school.

Students in Years 10 & 11 studying BTEC Performing Arts were examined during this performance, as were Year 12 who have been studying a dance unit for BTEC National Level 3 Certificate.

Other performances included the school Dance Company and Year 7 Street Dance club.

All the performers and backstage crew worked very hard and are congratulated on a staging such a great event.
