‘An English Country Garden’ represents what it is to enjoy England portrayed through a range of dance styles. It begins with a stereotypical maypole dance and abstract movement to the National Anthem leading onto a piece which shows our dancers enjoying themselves through a street dance piece with added humour. The dancers continue to take the audience through what they enjoy about being English. This includes a post modern pedestrian movement section based on travelling on the tube and shopping in London. Following this the pupils perfom contemporary and jive pieces to well known British music and then finish with extracts from musicals perfomed in the West End, This piece has a section and style of dance for everyone to enjoy. The piece is peformed by year 11 adn 12 dancers frpom Windsor High School and Sixth Form in Halesowen who created the piece for an exchange trip to Baltimore , USA.
