Chesterfield Dance Festival
Since 2012 Cavendish has been part of the Chesterfield Dance Festival held at the Winding Wheel. The oldest pupils (Miss Varns' Class) all take part and are coached by a dance teacher for several weeks beforehand.
These are the themes to date:
| Year | Theme | Music |
| 2012 | "The Olympics" | "Eye of the Tiger" - Survivor |
| 2013 | "Stars of Stage & Screen" | "War" - Bruce Springsteen |
| 2014 | "The Commonwealth" | "The Final Countdown" - Europe |
| 2015 | "Stars of Stage & Screen | "We Will Rock You" - Queen |
| 2016 | "Passinho Party" | "Clipe de Passinho" - Passinho de Copa Funk |
| 2017 | The Jacksons | Jackson Five/Michael Jackson Medley |
| 2018 | Films | Jailhouse Rock - Elvis Presley |
I often say our pupils are amazing, but they REALLY are. If you don't believe me just watch their brilliant performance from 2018.
