Super proud of these guys, Millie, Kirsten and Leanne   – stepping in at the last minute, with 6 weeks to go, to help out Gabriella White Academy of Dance.  They managed to get a Silver Medal (Ballet Quartet) , and a 4th (Song & Dance Duet) and 6th position Hopak Trio) which earn points for Team England out of the five dances they took to Portugal.  Huge thanks to Miss Gaby for asking us to collaborate and so lovely to work with Sophia and Havannah (who were also fabulous and got Silver for their tap duet and 4th for their Show Duet).  Thanks to the parents for running them around and making it happen at such short notice, including the elaborate National costumes.

We came out to Braga, Portugal on Thursday and they rehearsed that night and Saturday and danced competitively Friday and Sunday. They also took part in the Opening Ceremony around Braga.  They are all back home now with new friends to keep in touch with and tremendous memories whilst I await our senior dancer, Charlotte, to come out for her Show Dance Solo.

It is a great honour to be part of Team England supporting other Team England Dancers and also catching up with a teacher I know from Bonn, Margeret, that teaches also at our “Twinning” school Co-Leg in Euskirchen- a small world really !

Sophia and Havannah will also be guesting at our Moving Experience 2019 at the Haymarket 8pm 14th July
