On Friday, 31st January 2025, DWS Dance Company attended the London Youth Games Dance Competition at Langley Park Centre for Performing Arts. There were schools from across the borough competing in either the KS3 or KS4/mixed competition. Darrick Wood performed a piece called ‘The Fallen.’ The dance explores a group of young soldiers as they journey through the physical challenge and depths of the trenches. Using group and contact work the dancers demonstrate strength, trust & resilience. Together, they strive for freedom and support one another as they battle onwards. The 26 dancers (Y7-10 students) were exceptional, and I am pleased to say that DWS Dance Company won the KS4/mixed competition and will represent Team Bromley in the London Youth Games Final later in the year. This is such a fabulous achievement considering 23 of the students are Key Stage 3!

Well done to all involved on such a fantastic success.
