At the start of the summer holidays, Louisa Frank performed her Valenciana solo for the final time representing the South Region at All England National Finals in Eastbourne. It was lovely to hear that she received compliments from so many teachers and adjudicators and to know that she is in the top 8 in the country.

Such a lot of great work today at Summer School. We have put together our show, Jukebox Musicals, and almost completed a technical rehearsal. It was a very interesting last section when, due to time pressure, we had zombies dancing on a Greek island singing a hit from Mamma Mia 😆 We are hoping that will not happen at our performance tomorrow 🤞
Looking forward to seeing all our lovely performers for the last day ✨🎶

The week is going so quickly!!! 😊🎶

First two days of Summer School and two numbers done! It is starting to look like our show "Jukebox Musicals" is going to be great. Well done everyone - The Great Gadsby and We Will Rock You are completed and we are ready to move on into MJ The Musical tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing all my little zombies - make sure you bring your gravestones 🧟‍♀️ ✨
