Rory had asked if his friend Jessica could come and visit, and she joined us watching a workshop and quick rehearsal, at the end of term.
I promised to write a little statement for Shallal so here it is:
"I was lucky enough to be invited to watch a rehearsal of this inclusive dance company, and was amazed to see such inclusivity in action. The troop of dancers, some with disabilities some without, worked as one – the level of emotion shown was breathtaking and the movement and co-ordination of the dancers stunning. It was a powerful, inspiring example of how barriers can be removed and I look forward to seeing Shallal perform again."

i kept meaning to blog the joy and fun everyone had that day re working together after lots of tight rehearsing and performing, so many new risks were taken..the standard always rises after performing, and everyone commented on being happy to move ( play ) again. Next term we will dedicate half session to workshop/skills sharing and half to rehearsals.
Our back stage ladies both very talented in their own right also joined in dancing!
The two Tina's will be warm up buddies next term, and the Freefall training 3 of the dancers have now been involved in is showing through....http://www.freefalldance.co.uk/
