So so proud of all our amazing students who performed in the professional pantomime ‘Best Ever Christmas Show’ alongside Dani and Grace who both played professional roles along with Izzy and past pupil of Footlight. The show was an absolute massive success and the audiences over the 22 show had nothing but amazing things to say. Congratulations to all involved and a massive thank you to all the fabulous parents who gave up their time to chaperone over the run.

So so so proud of our dancers who this weekend have opening in Wimborne’s Best Ever Christmas Show. We’ve had the privilege to watch every team perform and wow they have all been amazing.
Alongside the professionals this show is the best Panto we’ve ever seen. Congratulations to all involved, we’d highly recommend. If you haven’t got tickets then hurry. It’s really is the Best Ever Christmas Show and with a family ticket being only £46, every child gets to meet Santa and gets a free ice cream you really won’t get a better value show.

We were so proud to attend the Dance Business Awards this summer and to make it even more special we came away AWARD WINNERS

We won the award for providing the best performing opportunities for our students. It truly was an honor as we are so passionate about this and it’s never easy behind the scenes to put on so many productions a year, but it’s always worth it to see our students shine and grow every time they step foot on a stage.
