Cleveleys student shines at London Move It Convention - world's biggest dance event
A dancer from Cleveleys wowed audiences at London’s Move It dance convention
Isabelle Ogden (20) performed a high-energy routine on the main stage of the world’s biggest dance event.
The talented dancer, who is currently training at Liverpool Theatre School, performed alongside fellow students in a commercial contemporary jazz routine created by award-winning choreographer Dane Bates, a tutor at the school.
The dance convention featured 30,000 people who took part in professional auditions, competitions and masterclasses led by top choreographers and tutors across a range of styles from commercial and contemporary to ballet and hip hop.
This year’s line-up included renowned choreographer Brian Friedman, who has worked with Beyoncé, Britney Spears, Rihanna, Lady Gaga and One Direction, as well as acclaimed performer Christie Lee Manning, whose credits include Spider-Man 4, Wicked and Great Expectations.
Isabelle said: “It was amazing to perform at Move It. We all put a lot of effort into perfecting our routine and our hard work really paid off.”
Maxine Ellis, Principal of Liverpool Theatre School, said: “Performing on the main stage at Move It is an incredible experience for our students. We’re so proud to see them showcase their talent on such a big stage.”
Auditions are now open for the school’s next intake of students for full-time professional training in dance and musical theatre. Fully funded places and bursaries are available to ensure high level training is accessible for talented young people from all backgrounds.
