We break up on Saturdy July 20th and classes restart Monday September 9th. Have a good holiday everyone

Our congratulations to Staci Moran who has been accepted at the Addict Dance Academy in Leicester. Staci joined us at a comparatively late age of 12 and never having danced before soon showed us her talent and capacity for hard work quickly catching up with students who had been dancing with us for years and often overtaking them. Even though, come September, we will miss you loads Staci we are very pleased that you have successfully negotiated the next stage of your career.

Exciting news for the Sereno School of Dance. We have become a Learning Destination of the Children's University. This means, that for all of the pupils who already have Children's University passports we can now stamp all the activities you do to help you achieve those certificates. For those children who don't have and would like to get a passport these are obtainable from the local primary schools. So, don't forget to bring those passports along. I can't wait to start stamping your accredited hours of learning.

Easter Holidays From Monday April 8th until Monday April 22rd. Classes will restart on Tuesday April 23rd, Have a good holiday everyone and don't eat too many Easter eggs.

Closing the show

To all you wonderful troupe dancers who performed at Liverpool on St Patrick's day, we will be dancing again at the Blackpool Opera House on July 21st. It is on a Sunday this time because apparently all Saturdays at the Opera House are busy. I hope not too many of you will have started your holidays by then because, as all our experienced Blackpool performers know, this is always a really enjoyable day.

Another well done to Miss Karen and the troupe dancers for their performance at the Liverpool Empire on St Patrick's day. Two dances this time. The first performed was Dream Girls which has been danced so brilliantly at Disney in Paris, the Blackpool Opera House, the Southport Atkinson and now, still keeping up the standard, at the Empire. Then because it was St Patrick's Day Karen brought back Lord of the Dance and I could watch this again and again. With our excellently trained dancers (ages ranging from 6 to 18) excecuting Karen's choreography this never fails to excite and got a rousing response from the audience. It was a fitting performance with which to close the show. We felt very proud of you all. The photo shows the dancers backstage waiting to perform Lord of the Dance.

Half term holiday is coming up already. Monday February 18 to Saturday February 23rd inclusive. Classes resume Monday February 25th.

The DVDs of the show are now ready. They are only £10 a set of 2 and all the proceeds are going to the Alzheimer's Society. There is a form on the notice board to use to order any but they are available to everyone not just those connected with the school. If interested phone 01704 567152

Razzle Dazzle. First night of our show. Well done everyone, backstage as well as on. You should all feel very proud of yourselves.

Less than two weeks to go! Get your tickets now for a great show and remember all proceeds are going to the Alzheimers Society so come along and enjoy!

Miss Karen and the troupe dancers - you have done it again. I am so proud of you. Your performance to Dream Girls at the Blackpool Opera House was brilliant. For those of you unable to see them dance this number you will get the chance at our Razzle Dazzle concert on November 30th and December 1st at the Atkinson.

Wow! Karen, Disney dancers - what can I say? Not having been able to see you dance from our non-existant view point from the wings at the back, watching Kate's grandfather's expertly produced video gave me my first chance to watch you all properly. I knew you had all done brilliantly from all the comments at the time, many from very discerning critics and not just loving parents, but I didn't realise just how good you had been. You were absolutely fantastic. Well done everyone, particularly Karen and thank you so much Mr Fleetwood for producing such a professional looking video.
