The <strong>Stopfordian</strong> 2010–2011 dance showcase/spectacular for a paying audience. On the night, their nerves held and they gave a great performance. I would like to record my thanks to the girls for all their hard work leading up to the event and a particular thank you to their parents for their constant support. Wednesday Sixth Form games session Dance is an option on the games timetable. Sixth Formers can opt to take dance for the whole year enabling them to experience a whole range of dance styles or can opt for a single half term course covering one type of dance. Often there is a mix of competent dancers alongside beginners who have an interest in the performing arts. This year we have danced street jazz, cuban style salsa, excerpts from Chicago, and put together our own version of Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’. U.K.A. Performance Exams Pupils who take the dance option in the Fourth and Fifth Year are also able to enter dance exams with the U.K.A. This is a nationally recognised qualification and an external examiner from the association comes to do the assessments. Technique and posture, presentation and performance, are some of the areas examined and each pupil has to perform two routines. The excellent results are listed below: Bronze Award Level 1 – Street Dance Megan Casey, Amelia Cropper, Meredith Ellis, Lisa Font, Hannah Gregory, Ashley Hazelhurst, Francesca Henderson- Cox, Lydia O’Donoghue, Jessica Lee, Tasmin Ray, Lucy Rowe, Madeline Smith, Kim St. Clair, Laura Wynne,. Gold Award Level 3 – Street Dance Rhian Armstrong, Kia Bracegirdle, Jess McNeill, Jaina Mistry, Jenny Muellenbach, Lucy Rothwell, Gabriella Watkins. Gold Award Level 3 – Musical Theatre Kia Bracegirdle, Maisie Eastwick, Jess McNeill, Jaina Mistry, Gabriella Watkins, Bronze Medal – Freestyle/Musical Theatre Distinction: Charlotte Helme, Rebecca Helme, Jessica Paul Honours: Gina Belk, Annabel Gowrie, Ayoni Upeksha Medagoda, Charlotte Rowe, Highly Commended: Olivia Briggs, Laura Chitty, Anisha Harris, Rachel Hopwood, Jessica La Rendu, Bethany McLoughlin, Shannon Mitchell Finally, I would like to say how impressed I have been with the progress pupils have made in dance this year, and what a pleasure it has been to work with such enthusiastic and able dancers. Well done to all and keep it up. M. O’Brien SPORTS COLOURS 2010-11 Sports Colours are awarded to those individuals who have made an exceptional contribution to their respective sport.
