Ribblesdale Pupils Dance in Hildesheim

Ribblesdale School has been involved with Comenius for over 3 years now. A selection of singers have already performed in the South of France and at the German Christmas Markets in Hildesheim but it was now the turn for Dance to appear as a focus in the project.


On Tuesday 1st February Miss Mason & Mrs Smith took Molly, Abigail, Lois & Emily a group of year 10 pupils to Hildesheim Germany to take part in Dance rehearsals. The pupils performed to Ellie Goulding’s ‘Your Song’ and opened Dire Straits ‘Walk of Life’ with an infectious Tap routine followed by routines from each country. Whilst there pupils had the opportunity to learn routines performed by all countries and sightsee around Hildesheim and Hannover. It was yet again a fantastic trip where the pupils were a real credit to Ribblesdale School.

This has been the final of many European trips during the Comenius project which has its final Concert in Clitheroe on Saturday July 2nd. Pupils from Spain, France and Germany will be joining a selection of pupils from Ribblesdale to sing and dance in the grand Finale which will be held at the Grand.

We are currently still looking for host families to help house the 110 foregin students during their 4 day visit in the summer. (29th June – 3rd July) If you are interested in being a host please do not hesitate to contact Miss Mason.
