Being part of the school choir for 5 years, developed my ability to listen and work as part of a team. We sang regularly in Blackburn Cathedral and celebrations throughout the Academy year.
Attending a dance school since the age of five has allowed me to develop skills and techniques in dance, while practicing and demonstrating team building skills while working towards qualifications. .
