EN POINTE PROJECT – JUNIOR (10 -13 YEARS)
2018 DANCE PROJECT WITH INDUSTRY PROFESSIONAL
In 2018 dancers aged 10-13 years had the opportunity to be part of a music video project. Our young dancers were mentored by visiting choreographers Freya List, Sian Kelly and Tarik Frimpong to produce ‘Fierce’ a music video production. Through this opportunity they were a part of a development day, dancing to original contemporary music, which led to a filming day with the musicians who created the piece.
This was a fabulous opportunity for dancers to be involved in a project that allowed them to be part of a unique creative process, with a professional video recorder.
​
Through the En Pointe Jnr project, dancers were able to learn and develop their dance and performance skills in a supportive environment and most importantly, give back to the community through a worthwhile and valuable cause.
