Thirty Five Girls from The Davies School of Dance were delighted to be asked back to Saddlers Wells Theatre in London to Perform for a second time. The dancers who's ages ranged from 9 to 23 took part in a glittering performance hosted by Bonnie Langford. The girls performed two numbers to a Full House of not just their parents but to those of the students of all the other schools that took part. Students from several schools from all over the country and "New York" participated in the show. The day started early at about 6:30 AM on a Saturday morning, when the first students arrived at Worle Scout Hall to get on the coach. After a pickup in Clevedon it was off to London. The coaches had a buzz of anticipation as the girls and parents alike wondered what the show would be like. The School arrived at Saddlers Wells Theatre at about 10:30 and were the first to arrive. After getting off the coach and saying good-bye to the parents (they were off shopping etc. till the show) it was time to go in to the theatre. That was the start of a busy, hard and hot day of rehearsals for the show that evening. The girls had a tiring but excellent time and put in a lot of hard work during rehearsals. In no time at all it was "Show Time" and the Buzz of anticipation grew and grew as the Auditorium filled up with not only their own parents but parents from all over the country. As the girls waited for their first number the adrenaline flowed faster and faster the nearer their time came. At last it was their number and as they took their places on the stage and saw the audience in the auditorium one word filled the minds of the girls " WOW " then it was time to get down to work and perform the number. They had one number in each half, their final number was the last number of the schools taking part in the show before the guests from New York After a "Very" quick change it was the finale with all the other students and Seeing the audience applauding all of them was a feeling that they will never forget!!!!. It was then time to collect their things and return to the coach for the trip home. As the parents waited outside for the girls to collect their things the comments and praise for the girls buzzed around. It was soon a quiet sleepy coach for the return home as the adrenaline rush subsided and the tired girls fell asleep. This is just one of the opportunities that the school offers its pupils, other opportunities include appearing at charity events and the Weston Carnival in which they are regular winners, which the girls are taking part in this year. The school also produces its own charity show and preparations are well under way for the next one. The school has an excellent exam pass rate of 100% all of these opportunities help the pupils to achieve their full potential. Lisa-Jane Lovett the schools principal said " The girls worked so hard for this day and I very proud of them". The School now has a very busy 12 months ahead of them working on their charity show and exams.

Lisa Jane has become an examiner, She took her Exam at the beginning of July and has recently received the news that she passed. " It has taken a lot of hard work and I've had to remain focused at all times to achieve this but its been worth it " says Lisa Jane. Lisa-Jane started dancing at the age of 3 ½ and followed her father's footsteps when she became a dance teacher.
Lisa-Jane hopes that by achieving the status of examiner it will enable her to provide more opportunities for her pupils. Like the chance to dance at Saddlers Wells and Her Majesty's in London, which many of the pupils of the Weston Youth Dance Company were able to do last year. The Dance Company also takes part in the Weston Carnival each year and performs at various charity events.
" I pride myself on the high standard maintained at the school " says Lisa-Jane. She would like to thank everyone who has supported her and helped her achieve her dream, she hopes to continue to build on her achievement in the coming years. Including expanding the school
