Going Global - our 2016 Dance Displays
Our 2016 dance displays, "Going Global" were a great success!
We staged 8 unique performances of the display in the Carnegie Hall, Dunfermline and Macrobert Arts Centre, Stirling. Overall, there were 120 different dance routines featuring around 840 dancers aged 3-adults! What an amazing achievement by our staff!
South Queensferry branch
The Junior students from our South Queensferry branch performed in a 'Little Stars Edition' of the display on Sunday 5 June in Carnegie Hall, you can read more about the Junior show here. Around 200 students in P3 upward gave 2 performances in Macrobert on Saturday 11 June. They danced brilliantly and the show was quite outstanding! You can see some photos taken from the wings during the South Queensferry branch displays on our CSBS Facebook page.

The audience were also fantastic giving lots of cheers and applause, as well as making £408.96 in charity donations after the shows!
Linlithgow and Grangemouth branches
Our smaller Linlithgow and Grangemouth branches joined together for the display with around 240 children staging 2 different perfromances on Sunday 12 June. It was great fun to have a wide range of styles and groups in their show as well as solo and duet performances. A highlight was definitely the Adult tappers with 22 of them performing a rousing Scottish number at the end of the show!
