Dance and musical theatre students wowed their audience as they tapped, pirouetted and showed off their acting skills at their end of year show.

Students from Havering College of Further and Higher Education, Ardleigh Green Road, Hornchurch, took their talent out of the classroom and showcased their hard work at Queen’s Theatre in front of friends and family, college governors, principal Maria Thompson, as well as retiring former Mayor of Havering, Cllr Eric Munday.

Havering College holds Artsmark Gold status from Arts Council England in recognition of its commitment to and excellence in arts education.

Elaine O’Connor, college curriculum manager for performing arts, said: “I am very proud of all the students, some of whom will be progressing on to university or our HNC and HND dance courses at the college.

“Some of our learners come to us with very little experience and their skills develop tremendously throughout their course.”
