Talented dancers are putting the finishing touches to their numbers for CBA’s Summer Dance Recital.

The show will feature about 80 performers from Years 7 to 13, including B-Tech students who have choreographed numbers for the event, dance clubs and companies.

The evening will include contemporary pieces, musical theatre, street dance, jazz, the Charleston and a number from the Lion King.

Dance Teacher Francia Dickinson said: “The evening will showcase everything the students have been working on throughout this year.

“Earlier this year our dancers put on incredible performances at the Partnership Dance Show and our Summer Dance Recital will give parents another chance to see our fantastic students.

“All the students have been working very hard and it should be a great night.”

Year 13 students Ellie Mae Moore and Charlie Bell will be among the performers at the show.

Ellie said: “I feel very excited about the show but I’m also a bit sad because it will be the last time I will dance at CBA.

“It will also be the final time that the Elite Dance Company will perform a piece I have choreographed so it will be quite emotional for me.”

Charlie added: “I’ve studied dance all throughout my time at the Academy and I think this will be a nice way to say goodbye.”

The show will start at 7.30pm on Thursday 17th July in the Academy.

Students will take home letters about the show soon so parents can book places.

Admission is free.
