The Christmas Concert

In the evening on the 7th of December our performing arts class performed a dance at the Christmas concert. We didn't have much time to rehearse for the concert as it was quite short notice that we were told we would be performing therefore we chose to do the same dance and singing piece that we performed at the MSH charity talent event. We decided to do this because we knew it very well as hadn't been long since we last performed it, also it is a very upbeat dance therefore it will be very enjoyable for the audience to watch. Kelly, Chloe and Katie and Laura-Anne were the four singers, Laura-Anne sang in the middle of the song whilst dancing and the rest all sang at the very beginning before everyone else came on stage dancing. Some of the dancers found it harder to move around the stage as it was smaller than the one that we performed on originally however we did manage.


The rehearsals for this didn't take too long as we did not have to choreograph because we knew it already so when it finally got the the evening of the concert we felt very confident with it all. Each of us all arrived at the school about half an hour before the show started and went to the drama studio to have a quick run through of the performance and to get us ready for the performance. We didn't have to worry about doing our hair and make-up there as we had already done this at home so it gave us more time to practice the dance and for the singers to go through their lyrics. It eventually came to our turn on stage as we were the last group on before the interval where all the audience could get their refreshments and stand up for a while, this was good for us as we had enough time to prepare ourselves before hand. As we all went behind the curtains on the stage, we could hear us being introduced and i felt very nervous however it was quite exciting too. The singers then started singing and we all came on all jumpy and upbeat, each of us had to make sure that we had very high energy levels and were smiling throughout. When it came to the end we all the bowed to the audience and ran of stage very pleased with ourselves. Personally I think that I performed the dance better this time rather than the first time at the talent concert.
