HSLC - Dance Live! FINALS (Portsmouth)

In February, Hornsea School and Language College travelled to Blackpool to compete in the Dance Live! Northern Heat. After an incredible day we were lucky enough to win awards for technical and concept, as well as placing 2nd!! We were over the moon with this result as it was our first year competing in a competition of this kind!

As the highest scoring 2nd place, we have been invited to attend the Dance Live! Finals in April at the Portsmouth Guildhall!!!

This is an amazing opportunity for the 44 students taking part, however we need your help! As you can imagine, the cost to get to the finals in Portsmouth does not come cheap and the coach hire/travel cost alone is £2,500. Participating students, their families and friends have already gone above and beyond raising money to enable us to get to the heats! Therefore, we are asking for help from the wider community for any donations, small or large, to help with this cost, to enable our incredible students the opportunity to participate in what will be an amazing experience!

A bit about Dance Live!;

Embracing an ever-evolving digital world and how this is changing the face of modern performance, Dance Live! sees those in KS2-4 and Further Education compete with choreographed routines to the backdrop of a giant digital screen with pupils showcasing a range of skills from dance, performance and off-stage technical skills to creative design.

Dance Live! encompasses much more than the spectacle of performers alone. Dance Live! stands as a sanctuary, a steadfast point of stability for our schools’ young people. It has provided a secure haven and a mooring, facilitating their continuous engagement with education, collaborative artistic endeavours, newfound skills acquisition, and the nurturing of social bonds. In essence, it has been a propeller of mental well-being and a cultivator of resilience.
