�Carnival of Dance2012

Having danced from the age of ten at a local dance school and at the Northern Ballet School, Manchester, right up to leaving secondary school at the age of sixteen, I successfully auditioned for the Dance Centre, Preston College. This is where I trained for four years, studying all styles of Dance and achieved my teaching qualifications with the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing.

In September 2004 I launched Centre Stage School of Dance. After only 4 months we held our first Dance Display, then in 2006 was our first full production – Dance Fever. The show was a real success and spurred the school forwards. Our next show in 2009, A Night on Broadway was another Smash Hit raising the bar higher again. Followed by Rhythm of the Night in October 2010.

Francesca has been a teacher at the school for the past four years and also achieved her teaching qualifications with the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing at Preston Dance College. She then went on to dance for six months in Paris at Euro Disney and has gained her teaching experience at other local dance schools. She completed her degree in Dance in 2011 at Liverpool University and passed with flying colours! Francesca is a great help and support to me in running the School and we feel that the pupils benefit from the experience of having two teachers.

Gina is our Saturday teaching assistant; she is currently studying for her degree in Music at LIPA (Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts) and is also working towards her I.S.T.D. teaching qualifications. She is a wonderful dancer and performer as well as a warm, friendly and caring teacher – the children love her.

In June 2011 and March 2012, the Infants, Juniors, Seniors and Students undertook their ISTD examinations. The pupils had studied the syllabus for Modern and Tap and for Imperial Classical Ballet and had put in many hours of practice. All of the pupils passed the exams, achieving Distinction and Merit results!!!

Stage experience is an important part of a dancer’s training and everyone involved in tonight’s performance has put in a great deal of hard work, lots of enthusiasm and many hours of practice to make this show a success.

Finally, I’d like to thank you all for coming to support us this evening and I hope you’ll enjoy watching the show as much as we’ve enjoyed putting it together. Don’t be afraid to clap, cheer and sing along with the dances to help create that ‘Carnival’ atmosphere!

Enjoy!!!

Sharon.

I would like to thank the following people for their help and support with tonight’s production and also throughout the year.

Francesca and Gina for all their hard work and support each week.

My husband, Oliver, who is always very supportive and can turn his hand to anything!

Dee Rourke of WN6 Creative for yet again another fantastic programme and show design.

Nadine Downhill is our very talented dressmaker who has made the majority of the beautiful costumes.

All the volunteers working backstage helping to get the children ready and on stage on time. The stage crew for their help with the scenery. Also, the volunteers at the Front of House, making sure everything runs smoothly.

All the parents for their time and patience throughout the year, every bit of support is appreciated.

Finally, I’d like to thank all the pupils for their hard work and enthusiasm every lesson. They have all improved a great deal since we started practicing for the show, I’m extremely proud of them all and feel very lucky to have such dedicated pupils.

A BIG thank you!

Exam SuccessCongratulations to all the girls who took their ISTD Modern & Tap Dance exams in June 2011 and ISTD Ballet exams in March 2012!! I am proud to say that we achieved a 100% pass rate. The examinations are held with the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing and although they are not compulsory, I find that pupils enjoy the benefit of working towards a serious goal and improve immensely in technique and style.
