2007 Hertfordshire Schools' County Dance Festival

Inspiration for the dance festival was derived from the theme 'Dance....a Book!' and range from factual manuals, and foreign phrase books to classic fiction like 'Lord of the Flies' and 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'.

This biennial festival is an entirely non-competitive event which is the result of collaboration between Hertfordshire’s County Dance Adviser Clare Mellish and a committee consisting of teachers from our County Dance Teachers' Association.
