Hello everyone. Caitlin back at ya for Monday's sing along. I really hope you enjoyed last weeks video.
So this weeks theme is...Western (shows set in the wild west)! Because there are so many that you don't know exist so I thought I'd remind you of the ones you should know and then pop a new one in at the end.
This weeks soundtrack to listen to is Seven Brides For Seven Brothers. I chose this one because I absolutley adore this musical (I know I say that about all of them, but I truely do). Apart from the questionable way they go about getting the attention of their loved ones, it is essentially a love story of seven couples and how they get together. The link to the film soundtrack is below. Enjoy!

Caitlin here. I am doing the singalong this week but not today. I will post a video up in the next couple of days (tomorrow if I can). This is because this weeks singalong includes some of my friends who agreed to help me. Which means it's taking a little more time then doing them by myself takes. I really hope you enjoy it. Have a lovely Monday.
We will be sending you all today a video of a fun dance for our younger pupils to enjoy. We also have a video story in dance for our younger pupils. Lucia's little sister joined our school in March and both feature in this film. Even if you are an older student do look at it. It is very sweet and charming.
We are hoping to run a few classes for older students within the next two weeks. Miss Hallett will be in touch with those eligible.
Keep smiling and dancing. 😔😀😃😄
And I am back with another sing along for you today. This week's theme: Childrens musicals. If you are slightly older for the childrens parts in these shows, please don't turn your nose up at them. These musicals are so popular for a reason. They are accessible to everyone and the older parts are also fun to play.
This week's soundtrack to listen to is Bugsy Malone. This musical was written for children to play all the parts (in the soundtrack attached the singing voices are adults so they seem older) and if it was like an old ganster movie. But instead of guns they use pies (which makes for a very messy clean up after every show, but ever so fun).
