Sunshine performances in 'The Weather Report'
13 March 2020
On Wednesday evening, The Abbey held it’s popular biennial Evening of Gymnastics and Dance. This year’s performance, ‘The Weather Report’, showcased dances inspired by seasonal weather conditions and interpreted through movement.
Very much lead by the students themselves, the amazing routines were conceived and choreographed by the girls. The production allowed performers from all ages, dance backgrounds and with varying experience to come together and share their love of gymnastics and dance as a form of creative expression, relaxation and balance.
Bethan says: ‘Dance has been my passion since as long as I can remember so I am very lucky that the school runs this amazing event. I love the Evening of Gymnastics and Dance, but this year, being in sixth form, having the opportunity to choreograph and work with the younger girls made it even more enjoyable. I couldn’t believe the talent we have in the school and hope the display can showcase it for years to come.’
Samira says: ‘An Evening of Gymnastics and Dance is such a good experience for all the girls to get involved in. Working with the younger girls, teaching them the dances we choreographed and seeing the final performance was so rewarding. It is an inspiring event for all the people watching and really showcases how much talent we have in our school. The participation this year was amazing, we had girls from all year groups, of all different abilities dancing alongside each other which I’m sure was great to watch for both parents and teachers.’
