2012 will be a busy year for Hype Dance and the coming months will see them rehearsing hard for lots of upcoming competitions.
Hype's tutor Tasha is amongst 8,000 people who have been chosen to carry the Olympic flame across the country. Tasha said: “I have been chosen as a Olympic torch bearer for the relay when it comes to Bristol – I will be running on Wednesday 23 May.”
Speaking to The Sun Tasha, 26, said she has no idea who to thank for her nomination. The paper said:
“The mum-of-one from Bristol started street dancing when she was 18 and now volunteers as a dance teacher in youth and community clubs. Tasha said: "I'm so happy, it's a real privilege."
Trinity is so proud that Tasha has been recognised for the great work she does teaching young people to dance.
Not only will Tasha be involved in the Olympic proceedings but Hype Dance have also been chosen to dance at the Olympic Relay Celebration in Millennium Square on Tuesday 22nd May.
Hype will also be performing at Colston Hall's biggest dance show, Breakin' Convention on 31st May.
Be sure to catch Hype doing what they do best at these events. Hype rehearse at Trinity every Wednesday from 6pm - If you're interested in joining the Hype troupe contact Tasha for more info.
