DANCING WITH CHOIRS

DWC-478  DWC-408

DWC-78  DWC-55

Satellites performed four pieces accompanied by the Just Sing choir in Lighthouse Concert Hall on Saturday 10th March 2018.

The event raised an unbelievable £21,000 for Wessex Heartbeat and Dorset Cancer Care!
John Munro, CEO of Wessex Heartbeat, said: “The show was a real success and we would like to extend our huge gratitude to all the dance schools and choirs which gave their time and performed so wonderfully’

Eve Went, one of the founders of Dorset Cancer Care Foundation, agreed, saying “The show was mesmerising. Seeing classical ballet performed to the Ellie Goulding song ‘How Long will I love you?’ and Jazz dancers accompanied by a choir singing iconic Michael Jackson songs was truly special and it was no surprise when all the performers were given a standing ovation at the end of the show.”

Both pieces given a special mention were Centre Stage performances!
