Dance and Music Extravaganza

Wellacre hosted the annual Strictly Comes to Wellacre dance and music show on Friday 6th July, inviting staff, students and the community to join in the evening’s entertainment.

Dancers from Urmston’s Jane Jarvis Dance Studio performed an evening of ballroom and latin dances, with dancers aged from as young as 5 years old up to Seniors.

Ex-Wellacre students Ryan Ellis and Jack Butterworth also danced on the night, and joined Mrs Eagling on the dancefloor to celebrate the occasion!

Strictly co-ordinator and Assistant Leader of Maths, Mrs Eagling, said:

“It was a very successful night with a full house thoroughly enjoying the display of ballroom and latin dancing by Jane Jarvis’ National Finalists; the live band went down a treat!”

Live music came from Teacher of Maths, Mr Sharrock’s band ‘Tour Guide’ with Year 9 student Will on guitar.

The event was assisted by all the Wellacre students involved in AfriTwin 2019/20; they sold tickets, refreshments and raffle tickets on the night in support of the student exchange programme and raised over £1300.
