End of year round up/coming up!

It’s the end of another busy year for the dance team! From Dance Factor 6 to True Motion, our Inspiring Young Talent showcase and Primary Dance Festivals, it has literally been jam packed! Not to mention our visit to Breakin’ Convention, U.Dance Nationals and Aerial training. This year has been a great year for Dance opportunities in Lincolnshire and 2013-2014 is set to be bigger and better!

We have had amazing workshops and residencies and our Youth Dance Companies kNacKer’d and redXco have gone from strength to strength. They have also been lucky enough to perform at some of the biggest events in the county , including the SO festival and Lincoln Dances. Also a special mention to aDance who performed at the Sew Into Fashion event!

We are constantly working hard to bring opportunities to the young people of Lincolnshire and that wouldn't be possible without your support at our shows and events! So thank you to everyone who has bought a ticket to one of our shows this year, supported our groups at events or supported the Dance Team in general.

Throughout the Summer break, the Dance team have still been busy with events happening round the county. As we head into September there shall also be many more chances to get involved!

On August 16th, we headed to Spalding for Music in the Marketplace where kNacKer'd had the chance to perform. After worrying the performance may involve rolling around in a few puddles, bright sunshine greeted the girls just in time and their piece 'Flaws' impressed the audience.

On Saturday 17th, kNacKer'd also performed at the NK Centre Family Fun Day, the girls also threw themselves into playing Rugby and the boys obliged by joining in a Rock n Roll workshop.

As we are now heading towards the end of the Summer break, and quickly towards September, our classes shall be resuming. We shall be holding auditions for both kNacKer'd and redXco (details to be posted on our Facebook page soon) and our new vertical dance and male breakin' group 'Jumpstart' classes begin!

Again all information shall be posted on our Facebook page very soon. Keep your eyes peeled!

You can also find out more about the auditions by clicking on the 'Events' tab on the blog.

End of Term Show

On Thursday 18th July, our End of Term show took place. Rather than the crazy, manic day which usually goes into organising our events, the End of Term show is a bit different. A more relaxed event, the show is a chance for our Youth Groups to celebrate their achievements with their parents and peers and to perform for everyone.

For some of our Youth Groups, it was their chance to present the Arts Awards they have been working on and building up throughout the year. It was also a chance for the teachers to recognise the hard work of their students by presenting awards for most improved and best performance. There were also two special recognition awards, given to two dancers who have put in 110% this year getting involved in everything they can.

With the success of our dancers and events this year, we are hoping for this to continue into the 2013-2014 term. With more opportunities to get involved, artsNK Dance is getting bigger and better!
