THE ' DISNEY SQUAD '
In October half term , 54 Bovingdon Dance Academy students and their families will be headed to Disneyland Paris to perform on the Park ' s Videopolis Stage in front of an international audience . as they prepared to audition . This involved the video submission of two group dance routines that would meet the high standards that the Disney Performing Arts programme set .
Preparations for this opportunity began last November
Audition tapes were submitted in January and after a 6 week wait , BDA found out they had been successful !
The BDA teachers kept the news a secret for a week whilst they ordered personalised t-shirts and congratulation cards to mark the achievement .
To deliver the news , the students were asked to attend an extra class on Friday night with the rouse that the audition dances needed to be filmed again and a squad photo was required ( See attached ). Approximately 30 seconds into the dance routine , the track cut to an announcement that informed them of their incredible success . The dance studio was filled with shock , shrieks , excitement and a few tears from their parents .
The ' Disney Squad ' are now busy rehearsing every weekend as they prepare for their performance at Disneyland Paris by learning 7 routines choreographed by BDA teachers , Nikki Stewart and Karen Tower . Every week , this squad bring energy and determination as they work towards this incredible opportunity .
