A fun & successful post show party week!🎉 We’ve loved celebrating with you all.🤩 Thank you for our flowers, cards & gifts.☺️ Now for Easter break, see you after half term w/c 15th April.💃

We’ll be slowly releasing our stage pictures from OUTLAW, and couldn’t resist starting with shots from the opening of our show.🍃🏹💚 An athletic and adventurous piece to set the tone, performed by Green Group Modern and choreographed by Miss Marina.👏

Backstage pictures from OUTLAW of Green Group!🍃🏹💚 What an incredible team of dancers who performed brilliantly all weekend.👏

Some brilliant backstage shots from OUTLAW!🍃🏹💚 Looking forward to hearing backstage stories in classes this week!🤪

A separate post for Green Group on its way…👀

I am absolutely blown away by the entire weekend and how utterly amazing our students were!🤩 They were a credit to every parent / carer. We truly did make memories that will last a lifetime. It was almost 2 years in the making for us behind the scenes but it must be remembered that the children did their side of things learning the dances in just 12 weeks! The level of confidence shown from the littlest dancer to the oldest student, was incredible.👏 ‘Outlaw’ - we will miss you!🍃🏹💚

With love,
Miss Marina

PS - Photos to follow during the week!📸

A proper post will be done over the next couple of days with a LOT of pictures to follow…🤪 But, our second & third shows were INCREDIBLE. We are BURSTING with pride!🤩 Congratulations all.🍃🏹💚
