Fly me to the moon.. Gym and Dance performers soar around the world!




Fly me to the moon.. Gym and Dance performers soar around the world!

Whole School Sport


The audience for this year’s Gym and Dance Display were treated to a sparkling round-the world trip of tumbling, gymnastics and stunning choreography.

Before anyone had even stepped onto the floor, the stage was set with air hostesses serving complimentary drinks and snacks and telling parents, friends and staff to buckle those seat belts… We were ready for take-off on WHS Airlines, and our gymnasts did quite literally, taking to the air from trampettes, flipping and cartwheeling across the set.

As we criss-crossed the globe, performers embraced a variety of styles and music – from South Korean K-pop to lyrical dancing in Italy and from Russian ballet to some jazzy Broadway tap. We enjoyed whole-class dances from 6A (a US line dance) and 6B (Flamenco). A beautiful classical Indian duet, an accomplished Samba solo from Brazil, a Japanese trio and Chinese parasol dance added to the mix;Senior squad gymnasts performed a energetic South African number and Juniors a rhythmical Irish piece; the Junior gym development went cheerleading in California and Megan in Year 3 got the audience in the holiday spirit with her Hawaiian routine. Our Senior Gym duet brought us skilfully back to Great Britain and the Beatles for the finale.

Congratulations to all the girls – your hard work definitely paid off – and thank you to Miss Regan for masterminding the whole evening and bringing us safely to land at the end.
