As many of you may know, we recently lost a great friend, colleague and teacher, Gerry Smyth. Gerry was passionate about PE, especially Dance. We wanted to reintroduce Braintree Dance Festival in Gerry’s name to celebrate her while also celebrating all the wonderful dance happening across our schools. We would love for as many school groups as possible to join us for this.
What is it?:
An opportunity to come together to share and celebrate dance across the Braintree District. These can be dances developed through the PE curriculum or a lunchtime/after school club. All ages and abilities welcome! It will be a sharing of dances so there is no pressure for perfection, just joy.
How it will run:
- Please arrive in PE kits ready – costumes are not necessary (unless wanting to) but please arrive in them.
- Each school and dance will be listed in the programme which will be the order of performances.
- All school groups will sit as the audience and so have an opportunity to watch and celebrate other schools’ dances.
- When it is your school’s turn to perform, you will make your way onto the stage.
- The music playlist will be pre-prepared so please send details in with plenty of time (preferably by 17thMay).
- Please bring a drink and snack to have partway through the performances.
- At the end of the dance festival, all children will be able to leave with a Braintree Dance Festival Programme, with their name and dance in, to remember the event.
