On Charles Street you will find the Freedom Dance and Performance School. Established 4 years ago it specialises in all aspects of the performing arts for almost 150 students. They recently were honoured to receive the news that 28 of their dancers have been selected to represent Team England at the prestigious Dance World Cup which is being held in Jersey this summer.
Last year Team England won the competition and our local talented young people could help them repeat that achievement.
Team England places are self funded and it will cost around £1,000 for each child to take part in the competition in terms of kit, travel and accommodation costs.
The “Freedom Family”, as the school members call themselves, has begun organising their own events and activities to help raise funds. They extend their thanks to the local businesses, organisations and individuals who have already offered support.
If you can help by sponsoring, fundraising or donating they would be delighted to hear from you. Contact them at 7 Charles Street, Ruddington or email staceygaunt@hotmail.co.uk.
