Dancers from the Kelly Shirley School of Dance, sponsored by Booths, and based at their studio in Burscough have once again been performing at one of their favourite venues, the Liverpool Empire.

40 dancers spent the afternoon of the 22nd April backstage at the Empire preparing for the evening performance of ‘Smile Together’. The dancers were lucky enough to be invited to perform 3 routines throughout the show, and enjoyed every moment on stage. The response from the audience was fantastic, and even the Liverpool Empire Stage Crew rushed to the wings to watch the dancers routines.

Bright costumes, amazing dance moves and motivated kids working hard on their routines, proved a wow with the packed audience.

Text from QLocal:  Open to all dancers between the ages of 8 to 16 years, it's a competition which welcomes any genre of dance, performed as a solo routine or in groups up to a maximum of 10 performers.

The aim - to give youngsters the opportunity to perform at a more local venue than having to travel to Blackpool or Manchester for some of the other events held in the North West, allowing them to highlight their talents.
 

The children and teenagers belonging to local dance group the Burscough based Kelly Shirley School of Dance did themselves proud and produced an exciting and colourful dance set.
