Dance Festival 2024
Our Dance Festival with Yorkshire Academy of Creative Arts & Dance
At Co-op Academy Parkland, we hosted our very first Dance Festival for Primary School aged children on Friday 12th July. We have worked alongside the Yorkshire Academy of Creative Arts & Dance (YACAD) to create an opportunity for our community to come together through dance and performing arts. We worked with community and school groups across Bradford, including Our Lady & St Brendan’s Catholic Primary School, Ashland’s Primary School, Swain House Primary School, Titus Salt School, YACAD’s extracurricular groups as well as our own groups.
The Community Impact
All the children involved worked hard in their rehearsal process and showed a variety of different dance styles at the Dance Festival. It was an incredible experience for all of our parents, teachers, children and our local communities. The impact of the Dance Festival was community cohesion and a celebration of all children’s hard work and aspirations in dance. Thank you to all those involved and the hard work has certainly paid off as the performances were phenomenal. We cannot wait for next year, and we hope we create an even bigger celebration of dance across the community.
