CARNIVAL 14September 2019

As most of you probably know this year is Wickford’s 100Carnival!!!!!! Of course Talents will be celebrating with them. We have a large float and we invite all of our pupils to take part. Our theme will be Sleeping Beauty. We would like the children to be dressed in medieval costumes either as servants or members of the court. There are costumes available online for around £12.00 or you can DIY something. Can you please let us know ASAP if your child will be taking part We will need some help with decorating the lorry early Saturday morning, we also need props secured so if any Dads are available with a drill that would be great. And if anyone is really artistic I would love a very big storybook made.please let Tara/Becky know if you can help.

Up-coming Festivals : Starz UK  Grand Finale 26October 2019  open to qualifying pupils & groups only.

Platinum Dance Festival 2&3November 2019open to 2018 companies and regular private lesson pupils.

Originally the November festival was to be open to the whole school but as we have had such a busy year, we have decided to move the open festival to the early part of 2020 (Probably February half term) to give the teachers and pupils more time to prepare, if you would like your child to learn a solo-Duet-trio please let Tara know ASAP as this is done on a first come first served basis. This will also be the first time our new companies will be entered, so we are very excited to see them perform.

With you’re hard work I’m sure 2020 will be another great competition year !!!!!!
