Northampton dancers to perform at Disneyland Paris
August 13th, 2008A troupe of dancers from Northampton are preparing for the biggest performance of their lives at Disneyland Paris this Thursday. A total of 28 girls from the Gaye Stanley Dance School, based in Acre Lane, Kingsthorpe, will be dancing on the Fantasy Festival stage at the theme park, which has 40,000 visitors per day.
The girls, aged from eight to 21, have been practising since January and will be performing six different routines in 20 minutes.
The performance in Paris was organised by Gaye Stanley, manager of the dance school, after she visited Disneyland Paris two years ago.
She said: “I thought it would be lovely to dance there. It has been very fraught getting it all in place but we are all very excited about going.”
