The day after The Royal Wedding the ‘Cara-Lea school of dance’ had another royal engagement to make, neraly 60 students from the school performed at ‘The Royal Albert Hall’ London in a show called ‘Stars in the round’, this is a show put together from over 30 dance and performance schools from all over England, Scotland and Wales.
The students were the first ones on in the second half , they performed a 5 minute routine called ‘Be Italian’ from the film ‘Nine’, this involved neraly 30 chairs as well and took a slight ‘Burlesque’ feel to it, originally the routine was performed at the dance schools local Christmas show, and was such a hit we decided to take it to our London performance, the routine has been heavily choreographed by talented senior student Hollie Hubbard 18, who herself has been dancing with the school for over 10 years.
The students who performed ranged from 7 yrs through to 21 years, it was a great experience for all the dancers and the atmosphere in a 360 degree audience of over 5,000 people was out of this world for them, this is the third time the local school have performed at this London venue, although only last summer they performed in ‘Disneyland Paris’ this london venue is always their favorite.
Also the school have had some great competition results so far this year, they have had 3 competitions to date, starting with a local friendly comp in Ipswich with our friends the ‘Lait dance club’ where we managed to win back the shield to hold for a year, then we had two area comps at Helmel Hempstead and Sudbury and had many students now qualified for the national finals day later this year held in London. Well done to all the students for working so hard and getting us off to a great start to the competition season.
The school has several new classes that have just started up in the local areas – We have classes running in Mendlesham, also we have adult dance classes, new ‘Little Starz’ Pre school classes for 3-5 yrs and ‘Little Latino’s’ starting in Haughley in June.
