I was chosen to be a dancer, and with that, you live all your life."

CHANTRY SCHOOL'S 2019 SUMMER SHOWCASE
Chantry School’s full-time vocational Diploma students delivered a stunning performance in their annual Summer Showcase, and received wonderful feedback from audiences. The programme included new contemporary and contemporary ballet works created especially for the Chantry students by UK and international choreographers Jenny Logan, Alexandra Harris, Shannon Parker, Rae Piper and Paul Chantry, as well as traditional Classical Ballet repertoire, Jazz and Musical Theatre dance pieces.
The show also included a special curtain raiser performance by Chantry's Associate students.
We are incredibly proud of all of our young dancers, who will undoubtably become our next generation of professional performers. They all worked immensely hard preparing for the show and showed huge levels of commitment and professionalism.
