Summer School is a big hit
by Rob Smith

Verdon Recreation Centre hosted part of the Sheffield Multiple Heritage Service music and dance summer school during August. Around 25 young people from various parts of the city have been involved in DJ-ing, poetry, rapping, street dancing, singing and drumming over a two-week period, and a video and CD have been produced to capture the progress made by the participants, which was set up by Stage Works.

The two week event was organised by Simon Barth, Ruth McDonald, Fiona Miller, Sam Brand and Karen Minors. With support and dedication from the mentors Paul Johnson, Dani Joof, Chris White, Jason Brand and John Pitt.

Funded by the Government’s Children’s Fund at the Verdon Recreation Centre, SADACCA and other parts of the city.
