Assembly
There’s hardly time to look away during this incredible show- your eyes are drawn to the fantastic skills, amazing flips and tricks and the hilarious comedic moments interspersed throughout…a favourite of ours being the scene with the dancing janitors !
Beginning with a competitive ballet versus hip hop dance off, it then moves into a upbeat, fun medley of different dance styles and scenes. Alongside the skilled dance performances, we saw body percussion, singing and trash can drums. Each routine includes a variety of different outfits that range from traditional ballet tutus to camouflage and cargoes, but our favourite was the LED enhanced skirts and shoes. We especially loved the moonwalking ballerina and the everlasting spinning break-dancer.
We all enjoyed meeting the cast afterwards-they were super lovely. It was extra fun that the show also incorporated songs we knew and could sing along to..
We said : ‘..I really enjoyed all of the lit up costumes and shoes’ …‘I really liked the guy who kept on popping up throughout the show to do street-dance’
‘Beats on pointe is a very innovative and upbeat show, I loved how colourful and energetic it was.’
