If you are interested in joining East Riding Youth Dance in February, then why not come along to the autumn term cohort’s Platform on Sunday 27 January to get more information and see the dance styles that take place?
The Platform will be a magical mix of dance expression – styles, themes and creations and will be showcased at The Spa, Bridlington at 6pm.
Dancers from 11 to 18-years-old at Beverley, Bridlington, Goole, Hornsea and Pocklington have been defining their talents, and interpretations, choreographed by professional artists, and having fun.
East Riding’s piece, ‘The Writers Bench,’ which has been successful in securing a place at Fresh 2013 at West Yorkshire Playhouse in Leeds will be showcased. There will also be a guest appearance from North Yorkshire’s Youth Dance County Company.
The young dancers have lived up to their promise. January’s ‘Platform’ will be spectacular, with nine dance pieces by enthusiastic dancers, entertaining their audience with exciting jazz, modern, hip hop, street, contemporary and break dancing.
June Mitchell, community arts Officer and coordinator of East Riding Youth Dance, said: “There is a mountain of dance talent among East Riding’s young people, and we have harnessed it to give everyone a polished skill and creativity, which can be valuable in their present and future lives. It can give confidence, self-esteem, a healthy and fit lifestyle, a possible dance or tuition career, social and individual pleasure. Added to these advantages, it’s fun, challenging and exciting.”
Dance sessions are held over two terms and will begin again with the spring term starting in week commencing 18 February 2013.
