This morning I went to 'Saturday Superstars' to shadow their first couple of classes. As a ballet teacher myself I was very excited to see ballet taught in a community context. It was very different to what I am used to. I also watched the Parents and Tots class and a little of the street jazz class. There was such a great atmosphere the whole morning and it was great to see so many kids engaging in dance in it's many forms. Unfortunately I couldn't stay to see all of the Saturday morning classes as I had a mad dash over to Leeds Trinity.
As part of the Fresh event Sarah - a member of the Youth and Community team, has been arranging an event called re:Fresh. It was a partnerships with Radio Aire and was held at the Leeds Trinity Centre. It was promoted on the radio and groups between the age of 11-19 were invited to enter and perform on the stage area of Leeds Trinity. One group from the event would be selected to perform in the Foyer of the West Yorkshire Playhouse next Friday at the main Fresh event. There were also workshops taking place throughout the day with members of the public invited to join in and get involved. 're:Fresh' was a great success and the crowds it drew were amazing. Thousands of people will have had seen the event to varying degrees and there was so much interest in both Fresh and the classes that take place at Yorkshire Dance.
