The ITW Graham Dance Team is exclusively for ITW students. It is now split into two teams. The Company and The Elite Team. The Elite Dance Team prepares students who are keen to explore dance on a more serious note preparing them for college and pre-professional dance work, while The Company are focused on one specific style. The ITW Dance Teams perform at local and international dance competitions and festivals including but not limited to the 5,6,7,8 Elite Dance Competition Belfast (multi-award winning), VAD Productions UK, Twilight, as well as on the main stage at PERFORM Ireland and Dance Platform in The Helix. Last year we took part in Take us 2 the Magic in Disneyland Paris in March 2024
