Kidderminster College dance students are sticking to tradition by once again being offered places at two of the country’s top dance schools.

17 year old Lara Jasper, who is predicted to achieve three distinctions, has been offered a place at Stella Mann College in Hampstead, London, whilst Katie Scott, aged 17, who is also predicted to achieve three distinctions, has been offered a place at Bodywork Company Dance Studio in Cambridge.

The students, who complete their BTEC National Diploma in Dance this summer, have been dancing since a very early age: Lara since she was five, Katie since she was two. Lara commented, ‘It takes a lot of hard work and training to get into one of the top dance schools and that is the aim from the very beginning at Kidderminster College.’ Whilst Katie added, ‘One of the best things about the course at Kidderminster is that even though the main focus is on  contemporary dance and ballet techniques, you get the opportunity to practice jazz and tap too.’
