The display started with the Uni-ted Club (3–7years) of West End Branch followed by the Netley Street Group, Then came the West End Ballroom and Latin Class and the show finished off with the Eastleigh Branch Advanced Street.

- Summertime at Royal Albert Hall

Royal Albert Hall is a magnificent venue situated right in the heart of London. It is famous throughout the world for the exhibitions and shows that take place there. On Monday 16 of June an unusual perfomance took place in this theatre. Summertime- is a Showcase organised by English National Ballet , Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing and Royal Albert Hall itself, it includes 10 schools from London area presenting different dance routines in different dance styles. Every school had a Professional Dance Artist allocated to it, to choreograph a dance in their particular style alongside choreographers from English National Ballet to work on the Finale which was danced by all 200 children to famous Gershwin’s piece of music- Rapsody in Blue.
Line up of Dance Artists included the best professionals in their field in our country, Richard Marcel-Salsa, Famous Clara Bajado- World Hip-Hop Champion… Alex&Lisa were very priveliged to be asked by ISTD to choreograph Latin-American piece for this show. Children from Holland Park School had only had 20 hours of tuition and managed to learn very intricate routne featuring Rumba and Cha-Cha. Very big thank you goes to their dance teacher Mr. Simon Dobson for all the hard work he put in training kids alongside Alex&Lisa. Everything went fabuluous on the day, 200 children performed to the full house(5000 people) including their parents, teachers, and invited guests. This night will be night to remember for many of those youngsters, and who knows, we might see some of them performing on the same stage but in different role one day…
