Both first and second year students were part of the Barton Peveril team, with a combination of students who either study dance or pursue it in their spare time at College.

Award of Excellence for Stage Crew

Award of Excellence for Choreography
Award of Excellence for Stage Use

Speaking on the success of her students, Teacher of Dance Laura Harvey said:
“I am extremely proud of everyone that was involved in our piece ‘Without You’. The students’ performance showcased their sheer talent, as they produced a moving and emotional performance based on the Remembrance of WW1.”
