NLS Dance Recital

On Wednesday 18 March, 80 students showcased their incredible talent and passion for dance at our annual Dance Recital.

An audience of over 300 people enjoyed a diverse and engaging programme, featuring performers from Year 7 to Year 11. The evening celebrated the hard work of Dance Club members, Dance Leaders, and students studying Dance as part of their curriculum.

A wide range of styles was performed, including Contemporary, Commercial, Jazz and Tap. The programme included BTEC assessment pieces, extracurricular routines and students’ own choreography, highlighting the creativity and commitment of all involved
