WE DID IT!!

We are very proud to announce that Belle Vue's after-school club pulled out a show stopping routine at the NEHSSP's Dance Challenge 2010 last Thursday, coming back to school with the award for "Best Choreography".

We started the day with performing the routine infront of the whole school in assembly, kitted out in our Belle Vue t-shirts, especially designed for the event by Calligrafic. The Belle Vue children and teachers loved the dance (with a few tears of excitement and joy from some members of staff!) and everyone had their fingers crossed for the performance later that day.

After lunch, we set off for the Princes' Hall in Aldershot for the event we had been working towards for the past six weeks. We had a great afternoon experiencing what life is like in the big lights with our own dressing room and backstage runners to come and get us when it was our turn to perform! The "Believe in Belle Vue" troop did a fantastic job, dancing their hearts out and filling the stage with their smiles. Parents were full of pride and the audience members clapping to the beat. Everyone there representing the school jumped for joy when it was announced in the prize giving ceremony that Belle Vue had won "Best Choreography".

We would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to the many adults that have helped us with this event over the past few weeks, especially Mrs Ross for the selling of the tickets in the school office and Mrs Cronin for letting the children have their lunches early so we can have extra practice times at lunch. And of course, not forgetting the parents who have done nothing but shown support to us and the children.

For those parents of children who took part in the competition, the professional photographs are now available on www.markwarrenphotography.co.uk. If you do choose to order any photographs, it would be great if you could bring them in to show us!

Also, we have had the order form for purchasing the DVD of the performances (at the cost of £5 per DVD). So if you would like a copy, please see Mrs Ross at the school office.
