Former performing arts student Steven has visited current King's Lynn students at CWA to make sure they always keep dancing! Steven Shepherd, from Kent was a student at CWA from 2002 to 2006. He started on the media production course but soon realised his passion for street dance and made a course switch that has set him up for life. Steven, now a dance teacher, was invited back to teach a street dance lesson and talk  to students about what life was like for him after completing his education. Currently he teaches street dance at Prima Stage School in Kent. The skills gained from his course at CWA assisted him greatly in his path to teaching; he has gone from dancing on stage with famous acts and in big theatres to teaching at a prestigious stage school. After finishing his session, Steven said: “It was brilliant to come back to Kings Lynn today, and I was surprised at the high level of talent here. I hope the students found it all worthwhile!” Annette Connolly, Course Director for Performing Arts said: “For Steve, street dance and choreography was his real passion and what he did the best. It's been great for the students to talk to Steve about what can be achieved with a little hard work and dedication. ” Justyna Swiderek, a performing arts student at CWA, who sat in on the lesson, said: “It was good to get to dance alongside Steven today and hear about his story. I’ve auditioned at different places now so I’ll hopefully get into the industry too.”     Photo: Hannah Tuck Story: Noush Vuksanovic
