GREENACRE SPORTS PARTNERSHIP HOST- DANCE FUSION 2017.

The Greenacre Sports Partnership Dance Fusion competition was held on Tuesday 28th March 2017 at Greenacre . The competition saw 221 students, ranging from ages of 7-18 years old, participate from 18 different Primary and Secondary Schools within the partnership. Participants were able to choose their own style of dance, and they were judged for their creativity, skill and technique, personality, timing and overall performance. The results were as follows:

Primary category:

 1st: St Thomas More RC  2nd: St Michael’s RC Primary School  3rd: Danecourt Special School

Secondary category:

 1st: Group 1  2nd: The Victory Academy Group 2  3rd: Fort Pitt KS4 Group

We were extremely fortunate to have some special guests to judge the competition. We welcomed Natalie Harris, Sports Event Manager and who also coordinates the Kent School Games Cultural Celebration Event, which last year saw several Dance Fusion contestants perform. Secondly, we had none other than Strictly Come Dancing’s James and Ola Jordan!! All judges provided some fantastic feedback and hugely contributed to making the event a success!

Furthermore, we were very grateful for the assistance of eighteen Greenacre Leadership Academy students, and five 6th form students, who supported the event by assisting with stage management, photography, welcoming and ticket collection, backstage management and chaperone duties. These pupils did an excellent job and we couldn’t have done the event without their additional support.

The Dance Fusion competition would not have been possible if it wasn’t for the support of several partners. A big thank you to for hosting the event, to A1 events organisation for assistance with stage lighting, sound and a video transfer link, the judges; Natalie Harris, James Jordan, and Ola Jordan, to all the schools who participated in the competition, and finally to all the parents, family members, and staff who came to support them.
