This week, the KWS Dance Company competed in the annual Great Big Dance Off 2026, performing to a large and enthusiastic audience and showcasing an exceptional standard of talent and dedication.

The Junior team delivered a powerful contemporary-commercial fusion piece titled The Dead Dance, earning an impressive 3rd place. They narrowly missed out on a place in the finals by just five points – a remarkable achievement in such a competitive field.

The Senior team also performed brilliantly with their contemporary piece Angel in Hell, placing 8th in a much larger KS4/5 category. Across both teams, scores were outstanding, with judges awarding top marks of 10 for categories including crowd appeal and technique.

Miss Patterson is incredibly proud of all the students, who have worked tirelessly to perfect their routines. This competition marks a particularly special moment for some of our Year 11 students, who were the founding members of the KWS Dance Company. It has been wonderful to see their growth and commitment over the years.

We look forward to competing again next year!
