Yesterday, we had the pleasure of welcoming Lydia from the The Lowry CAT Programme to work with our Year 10 dancers.

Our students demonstrated fantastic focus, enthusiasm, and professionalism throughout the session, embracing every opportunity to learn and develop their skills. The workshop included an inspiring technique class followed by a creative choreography session, where students explored new movement ideas and performance qualities. @thelowrycat 

It was wonderful to see their confidence and creativity grow throughout the session — a truly valuable and enjoyable experience for all involved! #wearebedfordarts
