West Wilts Dance Festival A decade of Dance in the Bath Forum


The annual West Wilts Dance Festival is the flagship event of the Partnership, which brings together schools from across West Wiltshire in a celebration of dance. The dance pieces include routines developed as part of curriculum PE lessons and after school clubs, run by enthusiastic teachers and extracurricular coaches and support staff. This year’s festival saw 57 rehearsals, 52 performances from 49 Primary, Secondary and Special Schools and 1000 students taking part.


This year’s theme ‘Love is …’ provided a rich variety of interpretations. Many thanks to Sean Chiffers for the photographs.


In the build up to the festival, there were three workshops. Boys Workshop at Matravers School led by Gemma Richards. AGT Workshop at


Trowbridge Civic Centre led by Sarah Ferris from Swindon Dance (Centre for Advanced Training). SEND Workshop at Warminster Sports Centre led by Katie Chappell and Caroline the Dance Lady. Each night was hosted by a different group of student compères from KS3- 4. Backstage was staffed by over 80+ student leaders from Kingdown School. Thanks again to Caroline The Lady For your continued support at the Dance Festival.


A massive thank you to everyone that contributed to make this a wonderful event and congratulations to all the pupils who took part.
