Once we received the invitation to take part in this project we were extremely excited about the opportunity to work with a number of professional dancers. Ultimately we were really enthused about performing in such a prestigious venue.

We were fortunate to receive Capoeria as our chosen dance style. The pupils and teachers have found the style challenging and demanding but have thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to experience a new and inspiring dance style.

Pupils have shown dedication and commitment to the project and are excited to see the whole show put together.
