Prep VI pupil’s Christmas wish is granted

Bridgewater pupil in Christmas pantomime

Prep VI pupil, Freya, is experiencing the joy of a Christmas pantomime firsthand, after being selected to dance in The Dancehouse Theatre’s 2018 production of Aladdin.

Having attended Danceworks Ballet and Theatre School since she was six years old, Freya was absolutely delighted to have the chance to audition for the pantomime and made her debut at the Oxford Road theatre in central Manchester on 15th December.

Freya’s mum, Joanne, said: “This is an amazing opportunity for Freya and we’re incredibly proud of her. She loves dancing on stage and is really enjoying the whole experience.”

The performance runs until 31st December, giving Freya a magic carpet ride of ten more shows to look forward to.

For us, achievement means so much more when it is coupled with true enjoyment.
