Burnley College Dance and Performing Arts Students make a glorious return to the stage at first Dance Showcase in two years

Congratulations to our brilliant Dance and Performing Arts Students who have been blowing away audiences with their talents in their annual Dance Showcase.

The show was a huge success, selling out our industry-leading performance theatre here on our £100 million town-centre Campus on both days.

It comes after a gap of two years caused by the pandemic, which has seen reduced performances and online alternatives taking place.

This year gave them all the opportunity to get back on stage and present everything they had been working on for the past year.

“I’m so happy for all of my students. To see them getting the chance to showcase all their incredible skills in our Performance Theatre was truly emotional.
“It was clear the performance had left a lasting impression on the audience and would not be forgotten anytime soon.
“With so many different styles of dancing from contemporary to ballet to acrobatics it was a performance for everyone. Truly breath taking.”

“A show like this is so valuable as it gives all of our Students the chance to develop all of their skills across the entire industry.
“They’re working with technical aspects lighting, sound and costume design and ensuring they give a performance which moves the crowd. And they did just that!”
