Interview with Rachel Steckbeck

On Monday 16th March I had the privilege of being a Judge on the panel of the Primary and Secondary school London Heats for The Great Big Dance Off National schools competition. This took place at the New Wimbledon Theatre, with close to 60 schools competing in both sections.

It was great to see so many schools taking time out of their busy schedule (I've been on the other side and know how hard it can be to get this sort of thing together!) to get their pupils onto that stage and give them a chance to show what they can do.

A big shout out to any of the Teachers (if you are reading this) who helped put together a dance on behalf of your school. It doesn't go unrecognised, and the inclusivity of the groups was also clear to see which is important. You may have planted a new love for dance which will continue to grow in some of your pupils!

Rachel, the founder of the competition took a few minutes out of her VERY busy day to talk about why she started the competition and why it's important to have this platform. Take a look!
