As part of #CollegesWeek2026, and in celebration of today’s theme of Progression, Wellbeing & Development, our Southwark College Level 3 Dance students travelled to Newcastle College to take part in the NCG Dance Competition. They performed two impressive routines alongside talented peers from across the NCG group, proudly showcasing their creativity, discipline and performance excellence. Opportunities like this play a vital role in helping students build confidence, experience new environments, and develop the essential skills needed for progression within the performing arts industry. We are incredibly proud of our students for representing Southwark College so brilliantly and for embracing experiences that support both their personal and professional development. #LoveOurColleges #SouthwarkCollege #CollegesWeek2026 #DanceStudents #PerformingArts #WorldSkills
