Medal Presentation Show

Saturday 14th June 2008

at The Magna Carta Arts Centre

Rehearsal from 4.00pm to 5.30pm

Performance Showtime 5.30pm to 7.15pm Approx.

7.15pm to 8.00pm Open Evening

After the sucess of the theatre format for our performance last time, and after sorting out some initial logistical problems we were eagar to utilise this wonderful theatre for our latest Medal Presentaion Show. This was an opportunity for all our pupils, children and adults to show what they have learnt in their classes and private lessons. For family and friends it was a chance to see those moves that have no doubt been practiced in the kitchen out on stage with lighting and that show atmosphere.

Pupils who were sucessful in the May exams received their medals and certificates during the show from the Principal James and a few also received one of our SimplyDance Awards, presented by our Cheif Instructor Chris.

Parent's Review: SimplyDance Medal Presentation Show 14-June-08

"OUTSTANDING!! Even Rhia nnon's daddy who normally makes a fuss about going to see dance shows enjoyed it. His comments were shared by all of us, the kids look relaxed, confident and happy, the teachers' energy is infectious and it certainly brings out the best in everyone. All 6 of us loved it even baby Rhys who was happy the whole time, and spellbound by the music and lights... you're never too young for the theatre i guess!! WELL DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Social Dance Night

Saturday 19th May 2007

SimplyDance was proud to hold it's very first Latin American and Ballroom Social Night on Saturday 19th May 2007. The evening was a spectacular success with dancers of all levels from complete beginner to advanced swinging and swaying the night away at the wonderful Hythe Centre in Egham, Surrey (See Venues).

The doors were flung open at 8pm to just under 100 eager dancers. We opted to run a 'bring a bottle' system for those people who felt like a tipple and had our refreshments bar selling mixers and non-alcoholic drinks. The dress code for this magical evening was Handbags and Gladrags, which you can see in our photo gallery.

The evening went very smoothly with the SimplyDance's Staff Caberet thrilling the audience fully. The evening managed to raise £300 in our raffle for the Shooting Star Children's Hospice, a fantastic piece of work. Thank you to all who donated and contributed to the Raffle and the evening itself.

We are loking forward to running another Social Dance Night in the Autumn followed hopefully by 4 throughout next year.

Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you dancing the night away soon
