Did anybody watch this and if so,what did they think?Not sure whether this belongs on Performances seen forum-guess it will be transferred if anybody did see it!

Blondie, as there's already a thread about the Elmhurst lower school show over on "Performances Seen" (http://www.balletcoforum.com/index.php?/topic/4330-elmhurst-lower-school-summer-show/), I will move this thread over there too for neatness.

 

Kind regards, Spanner

Here's a 5 star review of the upper school performance from the Birmingham Post:

Wish I'd seen it - the 6th formers in today's final combined lower and upper school performance were breathtaking!

The performance was very enjoyable to watch, and overall a lovely evening.

I was amazed at the wide selection of routines and dance styles performed, from a stunning swan lake to sensational spanish and jazz. The dancers showed great versatality and posed individual talents which were lovely to see shine through on certain routines and throughout the choreography. I was very surprised at the variety of physiques and heights of dancers from tall to small.

The costumes were incredible throughout, and the added touch of a live orchestra in the first half sounded esquisite!

The partnering and groups for the formations in the routines were chosen well, and characters and roles for 'the penguin cafe' were also. The venue was stunning and we were made to feel welcome; we didnt realise we could get tickets for the show until we found out on ballet co, so thank you for that! (A little review from my dd!)
