Isobel and Laura are company members of 4Motion's youth company- 4MDT Youth Co, working with 4Motion's Directors Elaine Macey and Dean Soden every week at the Firestation Arts Centre. 4MDT were invited to perform along side the professional dance company in Brighton, presenting their current performance titled 'Boom Town' before every professional performance. They performed four times over two days to a paying audience, and did an amazing job!
