BRIGHTON THEATRE FESTIVAL

Congratualations to Harri for representing Pointers so well at the Brighton dance festival.  We had never been to the festival before so it was good to compete against some new names.  The standard was high accross the festival.  First Harri did her new contemporary in the modern section and got 3rd place with 85 marks.  Then she entered the modern championships.  This standard was phenominal.  Harri did her disco solo and gained 3rd place again with 86 marks.  The last section of the day was song & dance where Harri got 2nd place with her 'Dont Rain on my Parade'.Day 2 of the festival saw harri winning first place in the character section with 'Jeremy Fisher' with 87 marks.  Tap didnt go quite so well and harri didnt receive a place.  But it was a lovely festival and I would definitely take more pupils back next year to represent Pointers.Well done Harri!
