Year 6 National Dance Champions

We extremely proud of our Year 6 dancers having been chosen as National Champions in The Great Big Dance Off in June.

The Great Big Dance Off is a popular national dance competition open to schools across England & Wales and is the ONLY national dance competition aimed SOLELY at schools. Their vision is to create an exciting competition bringing together children of all ages and abilities where the emphasis is on having a good time.

The dance piece must be no longer than 3½ minutes and any style of dance is permitted.

Regional heats were held in:

North West, North, East Midlands, West Midlands, East, London, South East, South West and South.

Hymers Year 6 Dance Club were placed second in the North heats, held at the Victoria Theatre in Halifax, in March

The top three schools from each region then progressed to the National Final, which was held at the New Theatre in Oxford on 19 June.  

It was an extremely exciting day  - against some incredibly imaginative, creative and talented competition.

Hymers Juniors placed 1st overall - 32 schools in final - to become The Great Big Dance Off National Champions! 

The majority of the group performed their winning routine to an appreciative audience of Junior School students in the Judi Dench Theatre and posed with their trophy and their teacher, Mrs Marsden. Thanks also to Eva-Marie who has been helping the girls in rehearsals.
