On Tuesday 11^th October A Level Dance students at KAA attended a workshop run by Rambert Dance Company. Students have to study Rambert Dance Company as part of their course so this was a great opportunity for our students to get first hand knowledge from the company.

The day started with a session in the archive, which gave students a historical concept of the company and a background into their work. They were also shown archived footage and allowed to try on costumes from the companies wardrobe department. Following this students were invited to have a tour of the building and had the fantastic opportunity of watching the company perform their daily class.

The day ended with a two hour workshop in which a dancer from the company put the students through their paces with various Contemporary exercises and professional repertoire which students are studying at A Level.

Students came away from the day feeling very excited and are looking forward to applying what they learnt into their A Level studies.
