“I have made lots of friends who all love dancing as much as I do. We are training and dancing every day and now preparing for my favourite part of the school year – the annual dance showcase!

“It’s so exciting as we get the chance to perform on stage at the Theatre Royal.”

Siobhan and all of her fellow S1-S6 dancers are set to take to the stage in Glasgow’s Theatre Royal as part of a spectacular showcase from The Dance School of Scotland.

Rehearsals are now in full swing and we can reveal that this year’s showcase has a ‘space’ theme, with pieces based on our night skies including constellations, the moon, northern lights and even aliens – it promises to be ‘out of this world’!
