Steppin Out stars enjoy performing on TV

-

TALENTED youngsters from the borough were broadcast dancing live on telly after taking part in a special rugby match.

Students from Steppin Out Stars Of Tomorrow theatre school travelled to the London Stadium on Saturday, March 24 to take part in a pre-match routine with Britain’s Got Talent winner Tokio Myers.

They were performing ahead of the traditiona­l London derby between Saracens and Harlequins.

The match was shown on Channel 5, and the station’s coverage also included footage of the Steppin Out team.

“It was a year’s worth of prep,” explained Shelley Otway, Steppin Out’s principal.

“We were approached by a production company who arrange massive stadium events. They were looking for children to take part in and Steppin Out got to work with profession­al choreograp­hers for a week in half-term learning all the material.

“Then, on the day they worked with a major pop star!”

Steppin Out student Oliver Piff – who has attended the school for nine years – said: “The event was truly awesome.”

Classes commence at Steppin Out after the Easter break and a free taster session is offered to anyone who enjoys performing arts. For details, call Shelley on: 07970 034488 or e-mail shelley@steppinout­stars.co.uk
