DANCERS dazzled audiences at their annual Christmas show.

Epic Dance Academy entertained a packed-out auditorium at Ormiston Rivers Academy in Burnham.

The audience were treated to energetic dance routines with the theme of A Million Dreams – a song from the film The Greatest Showman.

A show was written around that song for the Dance Academy, with a full cast of children and young adults aged from two to 16.

Academy principal Carlie Boler said: “Each and every one of the students danced and acted their socks off following months of rehearsals.

“All the students have worked incredibly hard since September for the production and I am so very proud of all of them.

“Their commitment is outstanding and they all get along so well, they are a pleasure to teach.”

The success of the Christmas show follows the news 18 of the students have passed an audition to be able to dance at Disneyland Paris in August next year.

The youngsters are also taking part in the Essex Street Dance Championships in January.

Mrs Boler said: “It’s going to be another epic start to 2019.”
