ACS International School Hillingdon’s Upper School student dance team have returned victorious from the UK-wide dance competition, Prestige Dance Competition, held in Canterbury. The dance team, made up of students from Grades 5 through to 10 (aged 10 – 16 years old), finished the competition having claimed nine trophies, as well as boasting high ranking runner-up finishes.
Students Emma, Charlie and Cecilia secured first place for their solo contributions, with Cecilia also placing first in a duet with dance partner, Alicia. As a team, the dancers’ achievements included two first and two second place finishes. Throughout the competition, teams were judged by top industry professionals and competed against some of the country’s leading dance and performing art schools.
Team dance coach and parent of an ACS Hillingdon student, Amelia Brame, said: “It was a really successful weekend at the Prestige Dance Competition in Canterbury. The team worked so hard on their dances in preparation of this event, and I’m so pleased for them that their hard work paid off. Every student did themselves and the school proud.”
