Bro Morgannwg's
evening of dance to Disney
In front of capacity audience, pupils at Ysgol Bro Morgannwg
(Barry) staged a colourful and entertaining evening of dance to
Disney music.
The event at the Welsh medium comprehensive school was part of
the ‘5x60’ project which, running across Wales, aims to increase
the level of physical activity undertaken by secondary aged
pupils.
The aim of the Welsh Assembly Government by 2020 is five hours
of activity a week for youngsters. And the young dancers at Bro
Morgannwg have certainly clocked up their hours as part of the 5x60
initiative!
The show was a massive
success with parents, pupils and staff, and comprised dances from
‘The Lion King’ to ‘Mulan’ and songs from Disney’s latest box
office hit, ‘High School Musical.'
Pupils worked exceptionally hard for months in preparing a range
of dances. Year 11 pupils Savannah Taylor, Kirsty McGill and Gabby
Bennett ably led the group. Hip hop dance moves were also included
thanks to the guidance of community dance coach Sophie Squires.
Bro Morgannwg's 5x60 officer Elin Leyshon, who undertakes her
work as part of the Vale of Glamorgan Council's sports development
team, said: “The girls worked extremely hard and were very focused.
They did an excellent job and the school has wholeheartedly
embraced their enthusiasm of the scheme.”
The girls now look
forward to another term of dancing under the guidance of Sophie,
Elin and the Year 11 dance leaders, and eagerly anticipate the next
show.
