We have had a very busy term and have lots of exciting updates to share! Between Scottish Ballet Associates, exam results and some brilliant guest workshops we hope you enjoy reading what we have been up to! Scroll below to read more about what's been happening at Danscentre this term. We hope you all have a lovely October holidays and can't wait to welcome you back at the end of October for our Christmas term!
Scottish Ballet Associates
Everyone at Danscentre would like to send huge congratulations to Erin Eastaugh, Alessia Abbot, Andrew Maclean and Paige Park on recently gaining places on the Scottish Ballet Associate Programme!
The Associate Programme is a fantastic way of pupils hoping for a career in dance to supplement their local dance training with the opportunity to develop their technique and creativity through varied teaching styles.
Well done guys!
Exam Results
After our very busy exam diet last term, we are so proud of the fantastic RAD and ISTD results that the students achieved! With all pupils being awarded either Distinction or Merit, these brilliant results are a testament to all the hard work that students put in to their weekly classes and demonstrate their ability to show these skills in an exam setting. Completing an exam, whatever the level is a huge achievement and with these great results, everyone should be very proud!
Higher and National 5 Dance
This term we have began with our new National 5 and Higher dance pupils who over the next academic year will undertake the SQA qualifications alongside their school studies. The SAQ dance studies will see pupils develop their knowledge of dance, choreography and team work over the next year before completing both a written and practical exam in 2025. Danscentre is proud to be an SQA accredited centre and has also been able to offer the National Progression Award (NPA) to several groups of eligible students over many years!
Bethany Kingsley - Garner and Cameron Flynn Workshops
This term we have been very lucky at Danscentre to have had two workshops run throughout the school. Firstly, ex- pupil Cameron Flynn lead a fantastic commercial workshop at the end of September. Cameron is currently dancing with Matthew Borne's New Adventures so it was really great having him back at DC teaching the workshop. Our second workshop was lead by the brilliant Bethany Kingsley - Garner. Former principal dancer with the Scottish Ballet, Bethany lead a wonderful ballet workshop and we felt very lucky having her at DC to inspire the pupils. Thank you both!
