Tomorrow we’re set to perform at the St Nicolas Church Summer Fair and the weather is not looking promising, but that doesn’t put us off! If anything it makes us cast our minds back to our first EVER performance 5 years ago, 2021, as we were just coming out of the final lockdown…
It was a very cold, windy and wet day 🌧️ Our nervous Silver Swans presented a simple adage sequence alongside some audience participation at Thatcham Town Council’s Visions of Recovery art installation event, coordinated by 🌟
Had we not had battled the elements that day in our first ever public airing, Manuela at Emergency Exit Arts would have never known to invite us to perform in the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Pageant in London the following summer! 🇬🇧
And what an honour and unforgettable experience that was, dancing past London’s largest landmarks, of course not forgetting the royal box at Buckingham Palace! A day we’ve wished we could relive ever since! (Come on Charles, have a party so we can do it again) ❤️🌈👑🇬🇧
Whilst our first performance was rather modest, tomorrow we have double the number of dancers and an entire set list of 7 numbers! It’ll be a final public practice before we fly to Athens to perform in a few weeks!
So if you fancy coming along to support us, bring your brolly 🌂 and watch us at 1.30pm at St Nicolas Church on Sutcliffe Avenue in Earley ☔️
We hope you can make it! 🤗
