In Motion – with Northern Ballet

In April we were lucky enough to have a very special visit from Northern Ballet.

A pair of professionally trained ballet dancers came in to deliver a workshop for Hazelbeck and Beckfoot students who use self-propelling wheelchairs and who are interested in being part of a larger group of dancers.

The dance teachers began with simple warm-up activities where the students moved smaller parts of the body, hands feet and shoulders. The teachers then modelled, by using self- propelling chairs themselves, how to move around the huge hall in straight lines, through total rotation and finishing off with a graceful stance to indicate that the piece had finished.

It was a pleasure to see the students working with focus and enthusiasm as they made a real impact on the ballet teachers and all the staff present who did not really know what to expect but who were overwhelmed by all the students' efforts.

Thank you to the Hazelbeck students who rose up to the challenge without hesitation and to Beckfoot students who came to join us to take part in this exciting opportunity.
