Dorothy Stringer Dance Show

Brighton Dome's Premier School Dance Showcase

The Dorothy Stringer Dance Show is a cornerstone of the school's performing arts calendar, a spectacular event that showcases the incredible talent and dedication of its students. Held annually at the prestigious Brighton Dome, the show has grown over the last 20 years, becoming a vital part of the school's culture and a highlight for the local community. From contemporary dance and ballet to jazz and commercial styles, the show features a diverse range of performances, each reflecting the creativity and hard work of both the students and staff.

Each year, the Dorothy Stringer Dance Show takes place alongside the Let's Dance event, a city-wide celebration of dance also managed by Dorothy Stringer School. These two events make for a long and intense week at the Dome, but they also provide a platform for thousands of young performers from across Brighton to showcase their talents.

A Celebration of Talent, Creativity, and Community

Since its inception, the Dorothy Stringer Dance Show has been more than just an event; it is a tradition of excellence that brings the school community together. Directed by Chloe Sampson and choreographed by both staff and students, the show offers a unique opportunity for students to express themselves through dance, developing their performance skills while working collaboratively with their peers.

Over the years, the Dorothy Stringer Dance Show has produced unforgettable performances, from emotionally charged contemporary pieces to vibrant jazz routines. The combination of student-led choreography and professional production elements provided by the Brighton Dome staff ensures that the show continues to be a high-quality production year after year.

The show's proximity to Let's Dance adds an extra layer of complexity and excitement. With both events taking place in the same week, Katie Booth and her team work tirelessly to manage the logistics of both productions, creating a seamless experience for performers and audiences alike. The long days and the buzz surrounding both events create a vibrant atmosphere that fuels the creativity and energy of the dancers.
