Step Ahead dance school brightened up the tenth annual Heald Green
festival at the village hall field with their performance from the
smash hit musical ‘Grease’.
The
younger girls danced a lyrical style to Olivia Newton John’s ballad
‘Hopelessly Devoted’, looking pretty in pink fifties style skirts. The
medley also included an edgier ‘Go Greased Lightening’, with rolling
car tyres, dynamic choreography and the ‘Greased lightening, go greased
lightning’ arm moves that everyone in the audience could join in with.
‘Summer
Lovin’’ also featured, and could have been taken straight out of the
film. Guys and gals congregated on separate sides of the stage area,
before partnering up to enact the famous ‘Summer dreams, ripped at the
seams’ big finish. The sequence had a grand finale with ‘We go
together’. The audience clearly enjoyed the revival of the classic
songs and dance moves, dancing along and giving endless rounds of
applause.
Principal of the Step Ahead said: “We are proud to
be part of this fun day for the community each year and we hope we
added that extra bit of sparkle to the village fete.”
It is
organised by a committee including the Ratepayers’ Association and the
Rotary Club of Wilmslow Dean. Projects like this are run by the people
of Stockport for its residents and any money raised is put back into
local organisations.
