Christmas Crackers!

Tuesday, December 21st, 2010

The Showgirl Academy students stole the show when they performed at the Pumped Christmas Showcase on Tuesday 14th December.
They performed a seductive Chicago routine and then the charleston students, after just 5 classes performed an excellent 20’s charleston full of knobbly knees and funny faces!
If you fancy taking to the stage then take a look at our classes/workshops page to see what tickles your fancy…more performance opportunities coming soon!
