Laila achieves international dance award

We are delighted to celebrate the achievements of Year 7 student Laila, who recently competed on the international stage with her team, Prodigy Elite Youth Pom, part of the Powerhouse Dance Team.

Laila and her team travelled to Orlando, Florida, to take part in the Dance Summit, one of the world’s most prestigious dance competitions, held at Disney’s Colorado Springs Resort. This five-day event brought together elite teams from across the globe, showcasing the very highest levels of skill, creativity and teamwork.

The dedication and talent of Laila and her teammates were recognised on the global stage as Prodigy Elite Youth Pom achieved 5th place in the world in their category – a phenomenal accomplishment that reflects their hard work and commitment.

Beyond the competition itself, the team also participated in a multicultural evening, providing an opportunity to engage with dancers from diverse backgrounds, celebrate cultural exchange and build international friendships.

Qualifying for such a prestigious event required exceptional performance at a previous All-Star competition in the UK, judged by Jamfest, further highlighting the high standard of skill and discipline required to compete at this level.

Laila efforts exemplify the values we strive to nurture at Bridgewater. We are incredibly proud of her achievements and look forward to following her future successes in dance and beyond.

The freedom to be yourself is the greatest freedom of all
