I hope you've all had a lovely Valentines weekend and are feeling the love! I have to say it was a romantic weekend for me and the first I've had off in a while so I'm definitely feeling rested.
This week is half term and We have the perfect way to keep your children entertained with our Dancetastic camps at EddieCatz Putney and Wimbledon. These workshops are suitable for children aged 5-10 years and they will learn some great moves over the morning and prepare a small performance for parents to enjoy. The camps take place at Wimbledon 19th February 10am-1pm and Putney 20th and 21st 10am-1pm. The price is just £20 per child for the morning and includes lunch and a free play at Eddie Catz. Book at www.eddiecatz.com Meanwhile you can take take a few hours to relax parents!
Last weekend we had our show 'We've got Talent'! at the Secombe Theatre Sutton and it was a great
success. The children all performed brilliantly with the standard showing significant improvement since last year. Our three finalists in our 'Talent show' were Spirit; a super talented gymnastic trio who are just 9 years old, Andrew Self who performed a jive number and Dynamic our crew who were a mixed age street dance group. The show was diverse and really showed off the talent we have at our three branches of Dynamic Dance. The feedback from parents was great with all of the children super hyped and proud of their achievement which is what staging these large shows is all about for me.
The standout performer was our only senior boy Andrew Self. Andrew is 17 and is Down's syndrome. He first came to Dynamic Dance two years ago after showing a real flair for dance and being a massive strictly fan so his mum wanted to get him into a dance class. Andrew fitted in well with us straight away and our girls are great with him; he takes the opportunity to freestyle all over the studio before class every week showing off his perfect splits and cartwheels! Over the last two years Andrew has shown incredible progression and talent and performed as Danny last year in our Grease medley. His flexibility and ability to freestyle is really amazing and we feel lucky to have him as part of Dynamic Dance. Everyone agreed last Saturday night that he really does have magic in his feet.
We were lucky enough to have David white photography take some shots of the children in rehearsal and at the Theatre during our dress run and they are really beautiful photographs. I can't recommend him enough. Contact david@dancephotography.co.uk Wishing you all a great half term week! Spring is just around the corner....
