Success for dance school's first production

The evening of dance, drama and song, was compared by Tony Harris, and featured all the talented students from DanceMoves, with guest performances from local amateur groups.

The show was devised, choreographed and produced by Viv, and she said it was not only a fitting end to the school's first year but also gave them the opportunity to raise funds for the Red Cross.

Viv said: "The show was a great way to celebrate the end of the school's first year, it was a great success and we raised at least and 200 for The Red Cross."

She added: "The evening also provided the chance for the teenage students to showcase a dance piece inspired by the work of the Red Cross, which has been entered in the forthcoming Red Cross Dance For Life competition which will be held at the Phoenix Arts centre on 20th June."

Other performances at 'Connections' included a wide variety of energised dance styles and music, with drama from Ciaron Bird and singing talents included those of Cathy Brown, and Tim Wormley-Healing. Musical accompaniment was provide by Richard Eldridge.
