The Dance Kids gearing up for Anything Goes

An Táin Theatre is the place to be on Friday the 20^th and Saturday the 21^st of June when the Dance Kids unveil their latest show ‘Anything Goes’.

Never ones to sit still, the Dance Kids have been rehearsing for ‘Anything Goes’ since January, and have promised that this year’s show will be a perfect night out for all the family, with performances to suit all ages.

The talented dancers aged from just four years of age are promising to stage a ‘show-stopping performance’ of the hit classic, ‘Mary Poppins’, as well as many favourites from ‘The Muppets’ and ‘Calamity Jane’.

The night of entertainment will also include hit songs from ‘Little Mix’, ‘Teen Beach Movie’ and Olly Murs. If that wasn’t enough An Táin Theatre will then be transformed into the Emerald City where Glinda and Elphaba perform to the favourites from the Broadway musical ‘Wicked’.

“We are so excited about this year’s show ‘Anything Goes’,” said Freda Hearty.

“Everyone has worked so hard, these kids are so talented and they really know how to put on a show-stopping, first class performance. After the huge success of our sold out Christmas show ‘Jingle All The Way’, ‘Anything Goes’ is going to be the show of the year and is not to be missed. Book your tickets early to avoid disappointment.”

‘Anything Goes’ takes place in An Táin Theatre, Dundalk, on the 20th and 21st of June and is not to be missed. Book your tickets today at An Táin Theatre’s box office on 042 9392919.

The Dance Kids also have two exciting summer camps planned, which take place in Kilkerley Community Centre from the 14^th – 18^th of July and in Inniskeen from the 28^th of July until the 1^st of August.

Participants will take part in a number of exciting activities such as dance, costume making, singing, drama, sports, arts and craft and much more.

The summer camp is open to children of all ages and limited places are now available.
