Dance Space Essex were thrilled to perform at 'Light up Brentwood' on November 26th. The senior drama group performed 'Red Hot Cinders' a mini rhyming pantomime, two of the G1 Ballet students danced a duet to 'Let it Snow' and our little tapper made some noise to 'Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer,' it was fabulous festive day, #teamDSE!
A new short for CBeebies! This time featuring a little boy called Sam and his passion for ballet dancing. Beautifully designed by director Chris Allen for Beakus.

I have been busy all week preparing the half term ballet and craft workshop. In the midst of all the ribbons and glue I rediscovered Disney's Fantasia and what a spellbindingly beautiful film it is!
I could not think of a better way to introduce young children to classical music than the 2000 animated anthology. Fantasia consists of several different animated short films set to pieces of classical music. I will be using ‘Carnival of the Animals, Finale’ by Camille Saint-Saens for the workshop and have spent the last hour shall we say choreographing in preparation for Tuesday.
And so in the words of the newspaper, Made in Essex who have just written a feature on Dance Space Essex ‘prepare to have fun’, not only do we teach the fundamental steps of classic ballet but we teach the art of FUN!
Tuesday 17th February, 10-12.30pm, 4-8 years, £10.00, The Brentwood Baptist Church, Kings Road, CM14 4DR, email nicole@dancespaceessex.com to book a place.
