What a fun packed and busy Summer Murcia Dance Dancers have had. From successfully fund raising for much needed dance resources to working in new studios, from participating in Fiestas Camposol events to winning top awards at the Mazarron Festival de Baile, the Murcia Dance programme goes from strength to strength.
Now working under as a project member under the registered charity Arts & Cultural Association of Murcia, Murcia Dance has something to offer for everyone. Principal, Louise Bremner states that “the enthusiasm for the programme from both participants and children’s parents has been overwhelming this term and I’m looking forward to the new term with a whole new activity programme for both adults and children”.
Children from Murcia Dance have raised approximately 700€ in 2 different fund raising events. Their Annual Performance and Presentation held during May raised around 200€ towards a much needed dance mat. 50€ of their funds was donated to the Lions Lorca Appeal.
Their second fund raising event was the Camposol Fiesta Fun Run where already 240€ in sponsorship money has been handed in. Well done to all the children and their families and friends who have supported this new element to the programme in order to help keep costs low for children participating in the many dance activities on offer.
Some children for the first time participated in the Mazarrón Festival de Baile and they did their school, community and families proud. The Camposol Urban Dance Crew, who meet on a Saturday morning during term time, came 1st and joint 2nd in their Under 9 Novice group section. Judges commented that it was good to see boys dancing and to see different levels and abilities working together.
Holly Ryan and Kian Davies won joint 1st place duet in the beginners under 13 section and the schools seniors, Charlotte Moore and Shannon Robertson, received joint 2nd place in the over 13 Beginners Duet. Both heats had a very competitive group of entries from other schools so all dancers in these sections have dome extremely well.
Two top awards were also given to Murcia Dance. Jack Dawson and Shannon Moran placed 1st in their duet also won the highest marked duet from the Under 13 category winning over more advanced duets which is just fantastic for very young dancers at a Novice level.
The lovely Jack Dawson who is a dedicated young dancer won one of the most prestigious awards from the festival, The Most Promising Dancer, Under Age 13, Award for his stage personality, interacting with others whilst showing individuality, musicality, and interpretation of different choreographic material. Teacher Louise states “Jack is a model pupil. He works very hard, is caring and encouraging in class to other children and has an natural dancing ability. I’m very proud to not only be working with Jack but also all of the young dancers who collectively make up a vibrant community making my work as a teacher of dance relatively easy”.
A whole new programme of dance and performing arts will be running for children, young people and adults from the new Camposol Community Centre and Sensol Hotel from mid September. We have lovely venues suitable for dance, mirrored with barres and suitable flooring. The new timetable will include licenced Zumba Fitness, jazz, street dancing and theatre dance. We will have visiting guest teachers to support the programme for all abilities. For more details visit our website www.murciadance.co.tv or telephone Louise on 655 421 120.
