STAGE school pupils will get a taster for the big stage when they perform at the Civic Theatre.

Performers aged two to 20 from Silhouettes Dance and Theatre School, which holds classes in Bicknacre and Woodham Ferrers, are performing at the Civic Theatre in Chelmsford, on Friday July 18 and Saturday July 19.

The show will involve mainly dancing, including ballet, tap and modern, but there will also be some singing.

Laura Beckett took over at the school three years ago with Joanne Blanchfield.

They have been preparing and choreographing the show since last September.

Mrs Beckett said: "Everyone has worked really hard.

"It's a chance for them to get on stage, perform and have a great time.

"They will get the experience of performing on stage and enjoying the whole atmosphere - we're ready to go and really excited."

Performances are at 7pm on Friday and 2.30pm and 7pm on Saturday.

Tickets are £14.50 or £13.50 and are available by calling either Laura Beckett on 07765 257414 or Joanne Blanchfield on 07863 179563.
