Katie Philpott School of Dance set to take to the stage with its biennial show at the Lawrence Batley Theatre

The Katie Philpott School of Dance biennial show will be staged at the Lawrence Batley Theatre on Saturday and Sunday, March 16 and 17, and this year is entitled “Seasons”.

The four-show run will see audiences of hundreds taken on a journey through the year with toe-tapping tunes, a rainbow of colourful costumes and captivating choreography.

Mother Nature, aka senior KPSD student Ciara Stevenson (pictured), will weave her way through this wonderful showcase of student talent from the Mirfield-based dance school.

More than 350 students aged from six to 18-years-old will perform and be joined on stage by KPSD’s adult tappers and adult street dancers.

It promises to be a fun, fast-paced and entertaining show which is bound to put a spring in your step and a smile on your face!

Tickets are available to purchase on the Lawrence Batley Theatre’s website Katie Philpott School of Dance: SEASONS | Lawrence Batley Theatre (thelbt.org)
