A professional dancer who has appeared in big name pop videos has been teaching our students some street moves.

Yuki Masui from the Cathy Waller Company has been leading classes for the past three days for GCSE and BTEC students.

They have been shown some classic moves from the Street and Hip Hop dance genres and taught sequences.

Dance teacher Angela King said: “The students have really enjoyed it and the Year 10 students will be developing what Yuki has taught them to create a piece for our annual dance show on April 4th.

Yuki, who was one of the dancers in the Coldplay Charlie Brown video and appeared in the BBC One show ‘So You Think You Can Dance’, has been a dancer since she was 16 and inspired to dance after copying some dance moves from a Japanese boy band.

She will be touring with the London based Cathy Waller Dance Company this summer.
