On Monday 10 December 2018, eight students from Senior School in Years 9-11 set off to Pineapple Studios in Covent Garden for the GDST Day of Dance.

The girls all participated in two workshops each, ranging from Ballet, Street Dance, Contemporary, Jazz and Musical Theatre. In the workshops they were taught by professional choreographers, some of whom have worked in the West End and internationally.

They participated with other GDST school students and learnt many new techniques and skills. During the afternoon each school performed a piece. Blackheath High School had four girls perform a contemporary piece to ‘In my blood’ by Shawn Mendez. Julia Bosia was awarded the Ballet Dancer of the day, which she was thrilled with.

All of the girls had a wonderful day and came away feeling very inspired.
