Woweeeee THE WIZARD OF OZ is finally done and dusted This time the children performed 3 shows in one weekend as well as a full dress run and they impressed me so much especially the 35 year old Startots who were the lion cubs. They sat and watched each show beautifully and got up when it was the right time to rooooaaarrrrr We sold out on every show and I have received some lovely comments back from the audience and parents so hopefully all my hard work and late nights thinking of new creative ideas really did pay off I also want to say again a huge thank you to all the mummies that helped with the children backstage and with costumes etc.. you were greatly appreciated and I couldnt have had all 70 children in the show without your help I am very excited to see the DVD which is now in production I dont want to spoil the surprise but we may have some backstage filming to show you tooThe next exciting project Im focussing on is......

New Astara hoodies and tshirts are being welcomed by many Astara students at the moment. A swarm of purple hoodies are starting to take over Great Waltham.. and its all my fault They do look lovely though and the children are over the moon to have their names on the back. At least if they get mixed up we shall know whos is whos In the meantime rehearsals for the Summer Show are progressing very well and we are all having fun along the way I am very much looking forward to meeting my new students at Downham Village Hall on Saturday 11th June... there are still spaces available for these afternoon Musical Theatre classes so get in touch if youre interested in signing your child upBest Wishes Charlotte x2011-5-17 11:24:16

After a cracking Christmas Show on Saturday 18th December its left me feeling very festive indeed Especially with all the music and costumes... I quite like being an elf The bad snowy weather left me with no option but to cancel the evening performance I think this was certainly the safest option. Not to worry though as the Christmas Show is rescheduled for Saturday 8th January at 4pm at the Great Waltham Village Hall. I look forward to seeing most of you there Tickets are still available at 1632.50 each.. what a bargain
Not only have we still got the show to look forward to but also a Christmas workshop Tuesday 28th December 101pm Juniors and 14pm Seniors. With dancing singing games and glitter tattoos.. what more could you wantThere are places available on both workshops.
But most importantly before all that happens its.... CHRISTMAS
Wishing you all a very merry time with hopefully plenty of dancing and singing
