We are extremely lucky at SHA to have a variety of different dance styles taught after school; from street, jazz, disco, contemporary, lyrical, tap, modern and musical theatre, cheer & even a little Latin.
 

All clubs work towards a ‘Summer Dance Spectacular’. We also have a host of special performances throughout the year such as… events at the local church, Worksop Christmas light switch on, Worksop Pride, FOYPIB Talent Showcase and even a regional schools dance competition 'GBDO'. 

Every year the y5/6 team also have the opportunity to take part in a nationwide schools dance competition ‘The Great Big Dance Off’ with the school team being successful in qualifying through to the East Midlands heat for the past 8 years! 2025 saw us reach the Grand finals in Oxford what an achievement & what an experience for all the dancers involved! 

We also have links with our local comprehensive and primary schools taking part in a Bassetlaw Dance Festival. 
 

We have also recently been proud to perform at the ‘Focus on young people in Bassetlaw’ talent night at the North Notts Arena with different schools & community groups in the local area.

If you would like to join the Dance or Cheerleading Club please see Miss Edwards or Miss Ives.

Retford Oaks primary school dance festival 

Thursday 13th March

What an absolutely fantastic day our students from year 5 have had at this event. So proud of them all for learning the dance routine which was set by the dance leaders at Retford oaks and tweaked by Miss Edwards and the pupils. 
This year the theme was 70’s, 80’s , 90’s and noughties. 
we were given 80’s and the hit footloose, and although we are maybe a bit biased it was an amazing performance by our pupils. 
Thank you to Oaks for inviting us and organising such a lovely day. 

School games Dance festival performance 

Thursday 14th March 

Today our 15 dancers from year 4 returned to Retford Oaks to perform their dance in front of an audience.
Just before the holidays the group had spent an afternoon at oaks with their dance leaders learning a routine. They then rehearsed during their lunch breaks with Miss Edwards and today they performed their dance in front of all the other schools and their parents. This years theme was colours of the rainbow 🌈 and our colour was blue. 
All our students loved attending and taking part and were extremely excited about today. A massive thank you to Miss Edwards for giving up her lunchtimes over the past few weeks to rehearse and for encouraging and sharing her passion for dance with her class.
