Disney show delight for youngsters Win a new
YOUNGSTERS from a Sutton school will appear at Disney On Ice Passport To Adventure, at Sheffield Arena. The Forest Glade Primary youngsters worked with Diversity star Ashley Banjo at a Sheffield dance workshop to create stories and choreography inspired by hit films The Little Mermaid and Frozen. Their work will feature in the Zootropolis pre-show event ahead of Passport To Adventure, on 15th November. Forest Glade Primary won the chance to take part in the Fit To Dance workshop as part of the Disney On Ice education programme, which encourages families and schools to use their imagination and creativity through storytelling and dance. The children created their own stories and performed them in a dance routine with a little help from Ashley and the Disney On Ice cast. Ashley said: “It’s great to be involved in Disney On Ice’s Fit To Dance programme as it inspires children to get creative, while being active and having fun. “The best part is that it works as part of the school curriculum too. The children have let their minds run wild and the end performances were brilliant.”
