Royston Festival

This was a fantastic festival with lots of medals and lots of All England Regional Final qualifications! Well done to everyone who danced and especially those who danced for the first time at a festival. I’m sure you enjoyed it and are looking forward to the next one which will be at the Welwyn Garden City Campus West Theatre next January and February. Please see ‘Diary Dates’ for the dates of this festival and others including the Regional Finals. Most of the groups have qualified. This was a fantastic achievement as most of our groups were dancing for the first time or the first time with cast changes. We still have Welwyn/Hatfield festival to, hopefully, qualify the rest. For full details of who won what, see the school noticeboard!
