The community dance gala was held at the ArtsNK centre in North Hykeham on Thursday 9th February 2012. The event was held to commemorate the efforts of certain interested groups which included those at the centre as well as performances from Lincoln College students. There was a variety of performances including narrative, hip hop, contemporary and interpretive. Themes included emotions and the use of movement to the word water, the telling of Romeo and Juliet as well as a powerful piece to the Lady Gaga song, Edge of Glory. There were dancers of all ages and abilities at the event from the very young performing hip hop dances with an urban feel to more traditional flamenco dancing, the teens representing contemporary and the older generation with an excellent performance of line dancing. The event was attended by friends and family and lasted for 2 hours.
The university was contacted and a student team were assembled. This consisted of 3 cameras and the necessary team to man them as well a photographer. The event went smoothly with filming and photography taking place during rehearsals as well as the main performance.
