Dancing the night away

Dance hall days were back again, as performers put on a fantastic show at the recent Dance Festival in Grange Academy, Kilmarnock – ending up with a rip-roaring can-can!
Young dancers from schools across East Ayrshire entertained the audience with a range of lively routines including tap, disco, jazz and musical theatre – including the ever-popular High School Musical.
The very successful show followed weeks of practice and rehearsal in the pupils’ own schools, led by Dance Motivator Zara Smith of the Council’s Creative Minds team.
Schools taking part were Loudoun, Kilmarnock, Auchinleck and Doon Academies, as well as Hillhead, Nether Robertland, Dalmellington, Barshare and Netherthird primary schools.
Zara Smith said: “We organised the festival to showcase the amazing dance talent we have in our young people. All of them are so enthusiastic and they have worked very hard to put on a fantastic show for their families and friends”.
