My name is Kerry verdu and I run Footloose Academy of Performing Arts in Elton. Last weekend 10th and 11th feb we attended a festival (competition with soloists. Duets and trios. ) in liverpool. 22 other schools attended and hundreds of competitiors. The competition was of a very very high standard. The girls work unbelievably hard for months on their routines and technique, alongside their dance exams and school. I am very very proud to say that they achieved a whopping 31 medals in different categories. 9 - 1st places 17 - 2nd places and 5 - 3rds. We had no words. I am so proud of how far they have have come with their progress and it's only february!! All my students mean the world to me and I am over the moon with the result of the weekend. They deserve it for how dedicated they are, and the blood sweat and tears that goes into this career. But we never in a million years expected so many placing and medals. !!! Dancer and the best team mates were Amy Sandbank, Lily loftus, Cerys Rogers, Carys Evans, Lexi Parker and Dylan. No time to rest as Moving on from this success, We have our examinations in Tap, Modern, Drama and Street dance in a few weeks time. The school has been open 13 years and we offer all aspects of Performing Arts and performance opportunities. Dance, drama and singing and all examinations with the best dance boards in the world. We are based in Elton Church hall. Ince lane. Thank you for reading our story.
