Louis is from Year 10 in Tredegar Comprehensive School and is spending the week with the company on work placement.  He will be blogging his expereience throughout the week.  Here’s Day 1

Hi, I’m Louis and attend Combination Dance and I’m a member of The Move, Blaenau Gwent Youth Dance Company. I am spending a week on work placement with FFIN DANCE to discover what living life is like as a professional contemporary dancer.

Today I spent the afternoon editing a short clip based upon the latest performance by Combination Dance. I created a short film using the latest piece by the group. This was a fun and exciting activity to do as I got to make a short film with a piece that I was in. Secondly I took part in the Scarfs, Mittens and Abertillery Youth Dance Classes that are part of the FFIN dance faktry.   I got the opportunity to work with all groups and worked on an arm swing phrase with them.  This was an amazing opportunity for me as I got to work with 3 groups of people ages 3-16 and discovered how a teacher would operate in class. I will blog tomorrow on how Tuesday went.

Thanks Louis 😀
