Dance arena managed to raise a further £112 pounds for Calderdale Royal Hospital orthopeadic and a further £25 was raised through recent dance competitions.

August 2005

The school was asked to take part in "Westenders Best Ever Musicals" The cast were originally from Phantom of the Opera. We accompanied the cast in songs from "Joseph" and also performed our own spot for the occasion"Scenes from Aladdin". We are now looking forward to our own forthcoming show "Aladdin".


At the end of the summer term we presented our own dance school show "Aladdin and friends". This was a great success for our first show. All the children took part from all the disciplines. We will be showing photos and clips in due course. During the event we raised £140 for Calderdale Hospital for research into pins in limbs (a version of Wishbone Charity locally based).
