We were split into 3 teams - A, B and C. For our last game we won 4-1 but some of our team got hurt but they were okay. At the end Brandon got awarded 'Player of the day' and Yasmin was very close.

We are so lucky to have Helen from RISE work with us at Parson Street. We are starting a new infant RISE group on Mondays this term which is very exciting, places are still available! Our junior dance club runs on a Wednesday after school and the dance troop are currently working on a dance piece that will be performed at the Colston Hall at the end of February. We can't wait!!
Please read their newsletter to find out more about RISE -
So far at RISE Youth Dance we have had an exciting, fun filled and busy couple of months, the company has been doing so much, from working with professionals in the studio to getting muddy in the countryside, so we’re really excited to share with you what we’ve been up to.
Firstly, if you haven't already, check out our new website!!!! Our new design was done by our RISE Intern, Delilah! To find out about the company, our classes or to contact us, click on the link!
We welcomed our new Company in September and began our company training with visiting Ballet and Contemporary teachers Sara, 3rd Stage Dance Company and B Neshima Dance Company.
“I'm really glad that I got to join RISE; the classes are a lot of fun and everyone has been very friendly and vibrant. Doing ballet and contemporary technique for the first time has been new and a little bit difficult but I love the energy that gets incorporated into every lesson and I feel like I've learnt a lot! I've enjoyed it massively” - Vinnie, 16
RISE Junior’s have been working with Luke, our RISE Junior Director on their technique as well as exploring different ways of moving. This term Juniors and RISE did a Saturday session together where we all got to know each other, it was great to see the younger ones looking so happy and interacting with the RISE.

This term Juniors and RISE did a Saturday session together where we all got to know each other, it was great to see the younger ones looking so happy and interacting with the RISE.
As well as welcoming the new Company this Term, the company also welcomed the new RISE Internship programme, where Helen mentors the interns and supports them in getting experience in working within the professional dance industry. As well as taking company class, the interns have the opportunity to attend many different dance workshops and programmes from around the country.
One of our interns, Jasmin recently attended the YoungChoreographers South West Dartington Residential,
“Young Choreographers South West is a scheme open to young people aged 18-25 who are passionate about creating dance for performance or participation. Over the weekend we worked with Sade Alleyne from Alleyne Dance, Paris Payne (SuperMonkey Training) and Theo Clinkard. Each professional offered a different experience allowing us as participants to immerse ourselves in the creative process of choreography as well as ensuring the importance of being a healthy working artist. Overall I’ve really enjoyed myself so far and would fully recommend it to any developing dancers interested in the process of choreography”
Our other intern, Delilah visited Re-Generations, an international gathering celebrating Afro-Caribbean dance and dance culture,
“ We listened to talks from many influential and inspiring people such as Hilary Carty, Cleo Parker-Robinson and Peter Badejo. We also participated in physical workshops lead by Essie Mensah, Ella Mesma (our very own Bristol girl), David Blake and the legendary Jackie Guy for a master class in the foundations of Afro Caribbean movement. I took a lot from the event that I feel I can take on further into my training and in life. One quote that especially resonated with me was “teach to give, teach to be gracious” said by Germaul Barnes”
Passing on all that we learn is important at RISE, Intern Erin has been doing lots of teaching work with some of the RISE groups, here are a few words from her...
“Through weekly sessions I have had the chance to teach Horison and develop my teaching techniques, lesson planning and finding my voice (something I don't usually have a problem with)! Helen has mentored me through the process and is always on hand if I need any advice with planning and offers feedback after the sessions which I am able to work on for the following lesson”
We enjoy connecting with a variety of dance events happening in Bristol; Intern Aisha attended the annual Winter Capoeira festival which hosted loads of capoerista’s from all over the world. She was successful in receiving her first belt.
RISE members paid a visit to Parsons Street Primary School and St Bonaventures Primary where they demonstrated the different styles we do at RISE and what it's like to be a dancer. It was a chance to inspire the young people and give them a taste of the ‘RISE’ life.
So that pretty much sums up Term 1 at RISE, now for a well earned Christmas break!
With Exciting things to come in term 2; Rise will be performing at UDance regional as well Stages and a new twist to our annual REACH showcase. Watch this space!

RISE performance group had the opportunity to do an intensive with Sam Amos - TrashDolly’s Dance Company. Sam began his style of movement, originally through bboying and has proceeded to develop his own movement style. RISE Performance Group worked with Sam to create a piece that was performed at Bath Spa University and will be performed at the Udance regional event in the new year.
RISE Intern, Aisha shares her experience about the intensive with Sam:
“ Working with Sam and discovering a new style of movement was really exciting as it wasn’t just about learning a piece of choreography but also about practising different techniques that we could take away from the residential. We were able to explore our own creative style and take inspiration from his style too it was brilliant to watch and experience”
Y3/4 Athletics Competition

Year 3 Tennis Festival!!
Children from various schools within the Ashton Park SSP ascended upon David Lloyd tennis centre to take part in the summer tennis competition for Y3/4's. Parson Street were represented by Jaden, JJ, Harley & Lewis. The boys couldn't wait to get playing & were straight onto the courts to get warmed up before the matches begun. The tournament consisted of 3 schools per two courts in a round robin style set up. Each match lasted for eight minutes where every point scored would accumulate to the schools total.
All of the boys played with the utmost effort & enthusiasm to gain as many points as possible for the team. While practicing their tennis skills they showed excellent sportsmanship throughout the tournament. A highlight of the mornings matches was where Jaden was involved in a rally which lasted for 15 strokes!
Overall, all of the Y3/4 boys loved the experience of the tennis competition. They should all​​ be proud of their efforts!

DODGEBALL TOURNAMENT RESULTS!
On Thursday the 26th of February the Parson street sports team went to Ashton park to play in the extreme Dodge ball competition ...
Our first match was against Southville and we won this match. It was quite easy compared to others we later played that day! Then we played Southville again (in a friendly) and won with no players out: this proved to be the easiest match yet. All of Parson Street stayed on and wiped out nearly all the Southville team! Soon after we played Hotwells and won again - we had 1 person out and nearly all their team were hit out! Next we played Luckwell and sadly lost as they were quite a good team, but we only lost by one point . Then to our surprise, when we asked the judges when our next match would be they told us we were in the ultimate finals!
Finally we were playing... we were tingling with excitement if we won this match we would come back with a medal! Sadly this was not to happen, when we played the match against St Patricks we were beaten. They were a very good team and undefeated. When the final whistle blew, we had one person left (Joe B in class 14) who hadn't been hit once!
So we came in second, so close to first but still very good. Well done Parson Street Panthers!
