Hundreds of pounds for Sport Relief was raised as we hosted our first ever Dance Triathalon.

Dance teachers Nathan White (pictured below) and Lisa Taristano organized the event which involved a huge amount of activity over three days.

It started on Thursday, March 17^th with a dance performance in the school’s theatre by students. On Friday the whole academy went dance crazy as dance was incorporated across all lessons, with staff and students busting some moves. A tutor time conga was the highlight.

On Saturday students went to the country’s biggest dance conference, Move It at the EXCEL in London and rubbed shoulders with top names from the world of dance such as former ballerina Darcey Bussell.

Mr White said: “It was a great day and it was great to see students and staff all getting involved in different ways. The dance-a-thon students had loads of fun – they were running out of energy by 6pm but after a hot drink break, they soon were buzzing again.”
