Under The Sea Ballet Sharing

And another year has finished. It was a great year, full of adventures, ballet enchanted lands, and lots of fun. The ballet magic culminated in our Under The Sea end of the year sharing at Chisenhale Dance Space. Our sharing was a fantastic time that completed the 2014/15 journey.

Here I share our Under The Sea performance and the conclusions of the year.

Under The Sea Sharing

Our sharing comprised individual group dances of different sea animals ending with all groups dancing together with their parents. I am very proud of all children, they did wonderfully! They had lots of fun and, to me, that's what matters most.

It was an amazing time when parents danced together with their children. The stage was full of people and energy could be felt in the air. This moment had a very positive impact on the children and so on their overall ballet experience.

Parents, thank you for sharing this moment with your children, I would like you to know how well you did for dancing with them. (See the link bellow to know more about this in the conclusions of the year.)

All children together with their parents have created their own costume under given guidelines – well done mums and dads, we definitely had group cohesion, it was an amazing creative result!

At the end of the dances, we had a contest to see which group was the most creative – can you guess who won? Hard to choose, they were all so good, but this time were the Octopuses!

Prizes and goodies were distributed followed by our Ballet Achievement Certificate that celebrated the completion of the ballet year.

At the end of the sharing, I clearly saw how good was performance experience for all the children. It boosted their confidence and they were feeling good with themselves, specially those who were not very confident in class little before the show. I was very positively surprised! (See the link bellow to know more about this in the conclusions of the year.)

In the second year of business, this was my first performance organisation with my classes and I am very happy with how it went.
It was a pleasure to develop a creative and stimulating artistic experience for the children. Not only for them, I hope our sharing has inspired and enriched everyone's minds and hearts.
