Sport Lincs Dance
On Saturday November 8th 2008, 6pm - 9pm, the first dance off took place and engaged over 50 young people in the street dance competition.
The event comprised of all the Positive Futures Street Dance classes which take place around North East Lincolnshire. It was amazing to see so much ambition and enthusiasm in that sport hall that night. The night was initiated with a group warm up - delivered by 4 dance teachers. The group were then able to show their unique style by dancing in a "street circle" ( a huge circle where anyone can get up and dance in the middle) the ice was broken by "Tushy", one of the dance teachers who takes 2 classes per week. The young people loved this part of the evening. They even managed to break down barriers with the local policing team towards the end of the night, the 2 PCSO's supporting the dance showed off their moves and were applauded no end for their contribution. All young people then split into their groups and performed the dance they had been preparing over the previous 4 weeks.
"As one of the judges myself, the standards were high, not only dance ability but also attitudes towards each other. It was clear to me that these young people were really enjoying what they were doing. At the end of the competition I was thanked by over 20 individuals for putting on such a fun event. Young people are changing so many things in their lives due to the influence of this project. It is amazing".
Due to the success of the first Street Dance competition in November, 9 more have been scheduled for the last Saturday of every Month, 6pm - 9pm until September 2009. It is looking as though the dance will grow to be as successful as the Fair Play Football League is and has been.
