Students at a Somerset dance school put on an end of year concert to raise money for Children’s Hospice South West (CHSW).
Members of Little Dancers Bath, supported by pupils from local schools and members of the Bath Light Operatic Group (BLOG), delighted a packed audience at the Dragonfly Theatre at Writhlington School with ballet and modern dance performances.
Younger dancers wowed the crowd with a ballet performance to Little April Showers while the older students showcased their skills to music from the Barbie film and The Greatest Showman.
Little Dancers, owned by director Alison Price, has been running for 12 years and operates at venues across Bath including village halls and local schools. Alison said, “The end of year concert is a chance to bring all the children together to perform on a professional stage. The show was a complete sell out with all 350 tickets being snapped up for both performances.”
The concert raised £1000 for Children’s Hospice South West. CHSW Area Fundraiser for B&NES and West Wiltshire, Heidi Roberts, said, “A big thank you must go to Little Dancers for raising awareness of CHSW and for their fundraising. It was so lovely to meet Sarah and the younger group at one of the classes, and so good for these children to have had the opportunity to grow and develop in this way.”
