Performers showcase talents at dance celebration

Performers showcased their talents during a dance extravaganza featuring more than 100 students from six Wolverhampton schools.

Highfields hosted the event, called ‘I Am Dance’, allowing students to share their work in front of a live audience.

Dance students from across the city took centre stage in the Lyceum Theatre, wowing with 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 now become an annual fixture on the calendar after proving such a success.

Miss Weblin said: “The event was all about celebrating the subject of Dance and honouring the commitment of students. It gave them the opportunity to share their work, which rarely gets performed to an audience.

“The students were really excited for their efforts to be seen and they put on a fantastic show. It was great to welcome students from other schools in Wolverhampton and we hope we can make this celebration of dance an annual event.”
