Wanted! House Dance Participants

Wanted... motivated and committed male and female dancers in Years 7 to 10 to take part in the House Dance Competition

What is the House Dance Competition? 

It is an exciting and rewarding opportunity for students who enjoy dancing, to make new friends and help create a dance performance and perform to a live audience.

How can I get involved?

Year 10 House Dance Captains will hold open auditions for students in Years 7 to 10 in the week commencing Monday 20 May in the Dance studio. You must wear dance kit. Audition dates will follow!

What happens in the audition?

Year 10 House Dance Captains will do a warm up and then teach you a short phrase. You will then perform it in small groups to the Captains. They will be looking for students who show lots of effort, look like they enjoy performing and are willing to work hard!

How will I know if I have been selected for the House Dance Team?

Team lists for Arnold, Lister and Newton will be displayed on the notice board on Friday 24th May at the end of the school day.

When do the rehearsals take place?

Each House will rehearse once a week from 3.15-4.30pm in the Dance Studio (Mon/Tue/Wed) from June-July (6 weeks) and then September –October (4 weeks)

When will the rehearsals start?

Rehearsals will start on Monday 3rd June. It is essential that you look at the Team List and rehearsal schedule for your House at the end of the school day on Friday 24th May.

(The next week is half term, so you will need to know before you go on holiday!)

Does it cost anything?

All students are asked to donate £3.00 towards the cost of buying costumes for the dance. This will need to be paid in the first rehearsal. Please bring cash and hand it to your Dance Captains.

When is the House Dance Competition?

You will perform your dance in the Dance Show in October 2013 in Drama Studio One.
