Brave, Confident & Strong!

The wait is over! We're thrilled to share the official video of Hertswood Academy's incredible Dance Live! 2025 performance. Watch our talented KS3 students bring to life the story of a young girl's journey to confidence, inspired by her favourite toys. Starting big school can be daunting, but our dancers showed us all how to find our inner strength!

The judges were blown away by their performance, praising the strong characterisation, creative costumes, and excellent use of the LED screen and lighting. They loved how each group shone individually before coming together in a cohesive and fun piece. We're so proud of our students' debut performance and the hard work they put in since October.

Remember, this performance earned us a costume award, and it's clear to see why! The Hulk costumes, Spider-Man webs, and toy-inspired outfits were all fantastic. A huge thank you again to everyone who supported our dancers, including our amazing Sixth Formers and dedicated staff. Enjoy the show!

If you haven't yet seen it, you can also find our behind-the-scenes 'Journey' video here. You can also find some pictures from our video premiere for students and staff yesterday, where the dancers received certificates (and sweet treats) from an ecstatic Mrs Jamieson.
