Before the summer, Clifton’s Y9 dance suite and five talented Y11 students had the exciting opportunity to work with a professional dance company over a five-week creative project. The collaboration was originally designed to prepare them for the official opening of The Empire Theatre, where they were due to perform as part of the celebrations.
Although the theatre’s opening has been postponed until November, the dancers were still able to showcase their incredible hard work and creativity with two live performances at the No Bounds Festival.
The group showed true dedication and professionalism throughout the project – rehearsing late into the evening on Tuesday and returning for an intensive session the following morning. Their commitment paid off, as they delivered two outstanding performances at the ROAR Theatre Space, in front of proud parents and an audience of around 50 festival attendees.
This project was kindly commissioned by No Bounds Festival and produced by Electronic Music Club. As a further recognition of their talent, the students will each receive a £50 performance fee from the organisation. Also, a huge thank you for the support from Rotherham Music and Flux Rotherham throughout the project.
We are incredibly proud of our dancers for their passion and hard work. They represented Clifton fantastically!
