Tonight’s performance at Mad4Dance Studio
The 11th advent window was opened this evening by Mad4Dance in Bargates and despite the weather there was a full house!
The evening started with the younger children who gave a delightful performance and stole the audiences hearts, followed by a dynamic show from the older students. Both were equally impressive and a credit to Julie Laming the proprietor of Mad4Dance.
The Charity this evening was Helping Young Minds, which Julie is also involved with, and she received a cheque for £500 from their generous sponsor, Simon Ward of Mr Greens Estate Agents.
Thank you to our MC , Rotarian John Cooper, who also sponsored a child this evening, as did Rotarian Janice Straughan.
