The Bristol Dance Eisteddfod took place from 9th - 15th April at The Theatre, Backwell School, Backwell, Bristol. From the start, JMDS pupils commanded the stage with their beautifully costumed and expertly choreographed dances.
Througout the week we acquired a mulitude of medals in various age groups and enjoyed the exciting, energetic atmosphere. The well lit stage saw a significant number of JMDS students qualifying for the modern and ballet championships.
All dancers throughly enjoyed the Eisteddfod, giving 100% to every one of their performances; they are all to be congratulated on their effort and enthusiasm.
