Rambert dance Company

off to see Rambert Dance Company production of "Comedy of Change" at the Lowry tonight.

The Comedy of Change is set to a specially commissioned score by renowned British composer Julian Anderson and designed by Kader Attia, one of Paris’ leading lights of contemporary art. It skilfully blends dance and science into a stunning, witty and striking performance.

1st night at Byrchall!

The 1st night at Byrchall went very well...once we found the room!!! I think we got to know each other a little and got some of the paperwork under our belts!


Don't forget to pratice your slinky walks (in tesco) and roll your shoulders back when you are stood up...it will make the world easier to face!






Remember.......when you feeling down.........stick the radio on and have a shimmy!!

Hafla performance

Thursday class went very well and the choreography is pollishing up nicely!! We had a chat about costuming and have decided that we will all wear full skirts (not black please) and a matching top with a black vest top underneath, a "jingly" belt will finish off the costume and a flower as usual for our hair. Please have a think about what you have and what you will need to aquire (buy or borrow). If you have anything spare please offer it to the new ladies... I will bring all my extras!!
if you fancy a new costume please go along to Urban Dervish in Eccles (details in "helpful hints" column). Or save your pennies for the Whirling Dervish Bazaar at the hafla!!
