Dancing Through Life - and Rehearsals!

 "Dancing through life
Swaying and sweeping
And always keeping cool"

(song lyrics - "Wicked")

Welcome back!

Is it REALLY almost the middle of the month ALREADY? Wow! Not to worry - we're working hard, and the effort shows! Our rehearsals have been progressing exceptionally well, the dance routines are learned and the lines are coming easily. It's just down to practise, practise, practise! It does make perfect after all!

The latest rehearsals have been buzzing with energy - and here are the photos to prove it!




A little update on those 'Wish' tokens - we collected 15000 of them, which....is....AWESOME! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to ALL the wonderful people who helped collect them - you are all completely marvellous and we love you loads! The tokens have been handed in so now all we have to do is wait to see how much money we'll be awarded. Every last penny helps! Can't wait to find out - and of course, let you know too! Thanks for checking in - see you soon! xxx

We're so AWESOME!

HAPPY 
NEW
YEAR!

Welcome one and all to 2014 - our Dracula Spectacula year! We've had a WONDERFUL Christmas and some indcredible fund raising! Our wonderful young actors and actresses performed spectacula-ly (pun! pun!) on the run-up to Christmas, raising a massive total of......
*drumroll please* 
£504.00 !!!

Hurrah!!!


INCREDIBLE! We had some wonderful help from Morrison's Supermarket in Seacombe, who hosted two bag-packing events. SPECIAL thanks HAS to go out to Becky for organising these opportunities along with a carol singing fund-raiser. Our swap-meet also proved to be an epic success, and EVERYONE had a truly splendid time, going home with goodies galore!

I can't begin to tell you how immensely PROUD we are of our young members. At a time when people often dismiss youngsters, our young people are a shining example of the very best of their generation. They never fail to impress with their enthusiasm, dedication, intelligence and good humour. I extend thanks on behalf of myself and all who have the honour of working with them.

**Our first full rehearsal with musical director Nicky went spectacula-ly well! (I know, I know...I can't resist! AGAIN!)**

We've also had supreme success with our 'Wish' token collection as you can see! -


Only downside - I've had to stick all of those individual tokens onto those cards! ARGH!  We have to send them off to the Liverpool Daily Post and Echo now and wait to see how much we're awarded - fingers crossed!

Did you notice the awesome new purple hoodies the kids are wearing? OH yeah! We've just had them printed with our logo on the front and - given that we're a Musical Youth Theatre - the very awesome phrase "I'm so M.Y.T." on the back! We like that. And so do our members, who look amazing when they're wearing their new kit -



We've begun the year so well - and I am supremely confident that we'll go from strength to strength and I'll keep you posted all the way! I'll be back very soon with costume updates, and wonderful rehearsal photos so that you can share our energy! See you soon xxx
