Highfields will stage a dance extravaganza featuring more than 100 students from six city schools.
The event, called ‘I Am Dance’, will give students the chance to showcase their talents and share their work in front of a live audience.
The celebration of dance will be staged in the Lyceum on Wednesday, November 20th and feature an eclectic mix of performances ranging from lyrical to upbeat jazz, street dance and Bollywood.
Organised by Highfields Dance teacher, Miss E Weblin, the event is the first of its kind for the school, but it is hoped it will become an annual fixture on the calendar.
Miss Weblin said: “We want to celebrate the subject and the commitment of students. It will also give students the opportunity to share their work, which otherwise doesn’t always get performed to an audience.
“They are really excited for their efforts to be seen, as they work so hard and it’s a shame that sometimes it is only seen in lessons."
