Dear PLTs, Primary/Head of P.E. Dept in Secondary Teachers, c.c SSCo’s

Howard School Sport Partnership - DANCE FESTIVAL: FRIDAY 25th June 2010 at Medway Park (previously known as the Black Lion Leisure Centre),Mill Road, Gillingham, Kent ME7 1HF.

We would like to invite you to a Dance Festival on Friday 25th June 2009 atthe Medway Park.

The show would provide your pupils with an opportunity to perform in front of a wider audience to display their skills at our showcase event, in the new Medway Park facilities and as the climax to a week of sport celebrations.

To support staff with this project, we have a workshop booked in February (date TBC) for Secondary pupils to attend, working with the Dance Company ‘Urban Activities’, from London. The attendees will be given ideas and opportunities to work on a dance for the festival.

For Primary students we have dance coaches willing to come into school to work alongside staff on developing dance within the school environment. All funding will be covered by the Howard Partnership. With this extra help, we hope you will not shy away from this opportunity and commit yourselves and your students to this extra special dance festival in June 2010. It will be a fun and enjoyable end to the academic year.

Due to the festival taking place as part of Medway’s prestigious Schools Sports Awards ceremony, opportunity for rehearsals will be given prior to the festival. All times and dates will be forth coming, nearer to the event.

If you would like to take part in this event, please complete the form attached.Details of your dance, group size and equipment can be given nearer to the time of the event, if not known at present. Please return the form to:
