Jaide’s Stage Studios, based at Rugby College, Technology Drive are hosting their 20th Annual Competitive Dance Festival which takes place on the 11th, 12th, 18th & 19th November at Ashlawn School.
Jaide Ellery-Martin the school’s principal explained, “Various genres of dance includes ballet, tap, modern, acro/gymnastic dance, song & dance, commercial, contemporary, lyrical & national from 8am – 9pm with non-stop dance routines including solos, duets, trios & troupes, dressed in an array of beautiful costumes. Our commitment class of around 20 students who audition for this class, compete with around 10 other schools from around various counties in the UK and the festival itself inspires up and coming talent who may wish to take their skills further. Anyone is welcome to come along to watch the standard of dance from ages 3yrs upwards and each category is judged by an industry professional adjudicator, where they are awarded certificates, medals and trophies. The event. organised almost a year in advance, is very time-consuming and lots of hard work to make sure everything runs smoothly for each day. The entertainment is fantastic to watch and a perfect opportunity to perform to a public audience to boost confidence and gain further experience which makes it so worthwhile and rewarding for all involved.
We then have an amazing opportunity and look forward to performing at the Shaftesbury Theatre in the West End in December, and all our students and their parents are so excited and looking forward to showcasing their routines in such a prestigious venue”.
