I hope you’ve all had a pleasant Christmas break and are excited about the New Year (and decade)! It is OFFICIAL- Dance Show season has finally arrived!
This year’s show has a ‘Timeless’ twist, so each piece will portray a particular era/decade/historical or futuristic event. We have loads of amazing dances for you to take part in, so please make sure you check out the link below for the full AUDITION timetable and running order of the show!
AUDITIONS WILL TAKE PLACE THE WEEK OF 18TH JANUARY 2010!!!!
If you would like to take part, come along! For more info about the theme, important dates and guidelines, visit the “Annual Dance Show” page.
The dance show is a truly unforgettable experience, where you’ll learn and improve your own dance skills, make loads of new friends and having a great time dancing! You can audition for as many acts as you want and also be in just as many acts as you can handle.
as the time of year is soon approaching and we all break out the trees, tinsel, stockings and think what to buy our loved ones I thought it’d be nice if some of us can get together and go visit Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park this Wednesday from about 3.30pm before we all go off for the holidays.
Any and everyone is welcome, we’ll look around, involve ourselves in all the Christmas cheer and perhaps indulge in a glass of mulled wine or eggnog or two. There’s also an ice rink, fun fair and Christmas Market to keep us amused!
