At Turves Green Boys' School, our Year 7 students have been making impressive strides in their Dance lessons this term, with a particular focus on Street Dance. The energy, creativity, and commitment they have shown throughout their lessons have been exceptional, resulting in dynamic and exciting performances that truly showcase their developing talent.
Over the course of the unit, students have been working on both their choreography and performance skills. They began by learning foundational street dance moves, before progressing to creating their own sequences in small groups. Through this process, they explored timing, musicality, spatial awareness, and how to work effectively as a team.
The boys showed great enthusiasm in experimenting with different movement styles and demonstrating individuality in their routines. A key focus was on performance quality—ensuring movements were confident, expressive, and sharp. The final pieces performed in class reflected the hard work and dedication each group put into refining their choreography.
Mrs Haynes commented, “It’s been fantastic to see how much progress the Year 7 students have made in such a short time. They’ve embraced street dance with enthusiasm and developed important skills, not just in movement, but also in collaboration and creativity.”
The project has also helped build the students' confidence and has provided a platform for self-expression. Many students who were new to dance found the experience enjoyable and empowering, and several have shown an interest in pursuing dance further in school clubs or performances.
We’re incredibly proud of all the Year 7 students and look forward to seeing how they continue to grow in future dance projects. Well done, boys!
