Nayland College dance students took to the stage last week as part of the annual Dance Showcase.
Almost 90 students took part, many of whom have been practicing their routines since the beginning of the school year.
The audience were treated to a range of dance styles including disco, Bollywood, hip-hop, fosse and line dancing; some choreographed and taught by the teacher, while others were choreographed collaboratively with the classes or by individual students themselves.
Nayland College head of dance Jana Polglase says the students have shown incredible resilience and commitment this year, spending hours outside of class-time preparing for the showcase.
“In a year of Covid like no other, where schools around the region have been hammered with absences, it was a long road to get the students ready for the stage,” Jana says.
Extra-curricular group Dance Company, led by Year 13 student Lydia Fitzgerald, also took to the stage.
“The awesome thing about Dance Company is that there are members from Year 9 to Year 13 involved, so it is a great opportunity for different year levels to bond and collaborate through dance,” Jana says.
“I feel incredibly proud of how Dance has grown as a subject at Nayland College over the years and can’t wait to showcase more of our talented students.”
