September, 2002 - An utterly fantastic Charity Gala show, staged by
the Colne Bank
School of Dancing at the University Lakeside Theatre wowed two further audiences. The matinee and evening
performances staged under the title of Let's Dance followed the School's
earlier and very successful Summer Show held in July. The £2,256
raised by these two Charity Gala performances are to be divided between St Helena Hospice and the Engine Shed Project.
Audiences saw a series of vibrant dance routines, performed with great
precision, poise and timing by around 150 young performers who gave
everything to their routines and looked as they were thoroughly enjoying themselves. The
style of each routine was different with tap, ballet and other dance
styles; the colours and style of the costumes
were wonderful, and the music and lighting made each routine come very
much alive. The performers, of all ages, were certainly a credit to
themselves as well as their tutors and choreographers. Many
congratulations to Jenny Overton, Principal of the Colne Bank School of
Dancing, her team and her students for achieving so much to delight
everybody in the audience as well as raising so much money for two
worthwhile causes. The photographs below,
taken by Geoff Osborne, give a representative taste of the 24 routines
which made up the Show. Click here
