28 ST EDWARD’S CHRONICLE

The Dance Show Neville Creed, Director of Cultural Activities, writes: The Spring Dance Show shimmered with energy and talent. Solos from Zoe Forbes, Aniella Weinberger, Freya Burdon, Josie Piech, Selena Thompson, Yoan Mihaylov and Tiggy Jones were hugely impressive but there was also tremendous ensemble work – particularly impressive in the confines of the North Wall stage. Thirteen dance styles, ranging from Breakdance to Ballet were on display with boys featuring in many. The pace and energy from the performers was established at the outset by a vibrant contemporary item and capped at the end with a Freestyle number from the leading dancers in the dance squad. Dance has flourished enormously in recent years and some have referred to the growing interest generated by various TV shows but there is no doubt that the growth at St Edward’s can be credited to our wonderful team of nine dance teachers under the inspiring leadership of Lisa Elkins. The choreography was inspirational and it was good to see that Sixth Former Selena Thompson joined the teachers in the choreography credits.
