This week we held our annual Dance Festival at the Oswaldtwistle Civic Theatre. What a fantastic event for all that took part from both Primary and Secondary Schools, as you can see from the pictures, they had a brilliant time. We had teams enter from Simonstone St Peters, Baxenden St Johns, St Huberts, Peel Park, Chatburn, St John’s Great Harwood, St Mary’s Langho, Brookside, Pendle and Salesbury Primary Schools. The Secondary School teams that entered with inspiring performances were St Augustine's an Accrington Academy. Hundreds of parents, guardians and family members turned up to support the dancers and gave excellent feedback on all the performances. We had a special judge Jo Kellet to attend from the local dance school ‘The A Team’. Jo had to judge the dances and select a winning Hyndburn Primary and Secondary school, and a Ribble Valley Primary and Secondary school to go through and represent their district at the Lancashire School Games Dance Competition. The teams winning the event and selected to go through were Peel Park Primary & Accrington Academy to represent Hyndburn and Simonstone St Peters and St Augustine's to represent the Ribble Valley. Well done and thank you to all the teams that took the time to create beautiful dances and perform for us. Thank you to Jo for judging and Oswaldtwistle Theatre for again providing a lovely venue. Good Luck to all the teams going through to the next stage!
