HeadStart

The Point is committed to providing dance opportunities for everyone and as part of this we present HeadStart, an annual showcase of dance work by boys and young men.

The platform takes place in the spring of each year and is always an energetic, vibrant event with around 100 young male dancers performing to a sell-out audience.

Now in it's 8th year, Headstart 2012 saw over 100 boys perform at The Point on Saturday 3rd March. Watched by an audience of over 200, dancers as young as 7yrs right up to young adults of 20yrs presented a fantastic evening of male dance. In total 10 groups participated with nearly half the performers never having danced in front of a live audience before.

As well as the main evening performance, this years' dancers also had the chance to take part in one off workshops provided by The Place, London. The workshops, aimed at offering a taste of The Place Centre for Advanced Training, were lead by professional Male dancer and ex London Contemporary Dance School student Aaron Vickers, who also comes from the Eastleigh area and has previously been a member of local male dance company FuzzyLogic. 

Heres what some of the 2012 groups had to say;

“HeadStart gave our dancers the unique opportunity to perform in a professional venue and provides a vital awareness of boys dance"

“HeadStart has been a great experience and great exposure for the boys”

“HeadStart  has been a great day for the boys and its increased their commitment to dance back at school”
