Contemporary Dance Workshop

On Sunday 26th February, we held a Contemporary Dance Workshop with Darren Pritchard for students at our school. For many students, this was their first experience of contemporary dance, and they thoroughly enjoyed it! 

It was a wonderful opportunity to have Mr Pritchard as not only is his knowledge of the contemporary style extensive, but his professional experience and many years of teaching in this genre meant that his workshop was very technical and detailed – we are sure that we will be inviting him back again in the not too distant future for many more classes/workshops.
