Eleanor Rigby ❤️

This piece is certainly one of my favourite pieces I’ve choreographed and I’m so immensely proud of this team. Well done to the 4 Colchester branch students who stepped in to learn this. Only a couple of times they got chance to rehearse with the Dagenham students and our Dagenham students had to learn new spacing and counts!

Your dedication and work ethic to this event has been so commendable, well done!
