The class is based on Contemporary and Lyrical Contemporary, with the opportunity to perform 3 times a year, appear at local fetes and compete in various comps/festivals. 

The Group meet on Wednesdays at Gordano School using the Sixth Form Hall. Ellie will use term 1 to teach students their new competition routines focusing on solo, group, duet and trio routines, The remainder of the year will be split with the first 45mins of class focusing on strength, flexibility training and technique in particular turns and leaps, the remainder of the time the students use the space to practice their routines with Ellie giving corrections/praise.
