Dauntsey’s stages upper school dance production ‘Step Up’

A group of 45 students from the Fourth Form through to the Upper Sixth have taken to the stage in Dauntsey’s Upper School dance production of Step Up, an adaptation of the well-known American dance film released in 2006.

The story follows a conflict between street and contemporary dance and is supported by a vibrant and dynamic soundtrack.

Emily Wilkins, Dauntsey’s Teacher of Dance, said: ‘The audience of parents, pupils and teachers were left amazed at the skill and energy of the dancers, and their ability to tell a story through movement.

‘The talent was unbounded and it was clear that the audience appreciated the time and dedication that had gone into bringing the production to the stage.’
