Our amazing dancers dazzled at the Hippodrome on Monday night at the Darlington Dance Festival. They had a wonderful time performing on the big stage and impressed everyone with their talent!
Thank you to Mrs Penteney, Miss Hodgson and Miss Taylor for helping our girls shine even brighter! If you missed their performance, take a look at the video to see the fantastic routine they performed for the rest of school!
