School trip to see MARTHA in BILLY ELLIOT

Last week was another busy one - Ballet exams on Monday and Tuesday, a school trip to see Martha Gardner in Billy Elliot on Thursday, watching Matthew Keller in the Royal Ballet School show on Saturday as well as Tap exams to round off the week.

On Thursday 5th July a group of 50 from Turning Pointe travelled to London to watch Martha performing on stage at the Victoria Palace Theatre as a Ballet girl in Billy Elliot. The photo above is of some of the students with Martha on the train home. Here are some of the comments made afterwards:
"I thought Martha shone brightly in the show, her star quality was obvious"
"We thought Martha's performance was outstanding"
"What a truly memorable experience the show was for us. Martha shone and was a great credit to you and Turning Pointe. Well done!"

Matthew Keller also took to the stage at the Royal opera house that evening, for the first of 6 performances of the Royal Ballet School's annual performance. Julia Canneaux and some of Matthew's friends from Turning Pointe were delighted to have the priviledge of seeing him perform amongst the stars of the future. He certainly loooked like he belonged on that stage, he was clearly loving every second, his sense of performance, technique and timing were impeccable. SO PROUD!
