Goscote Dance Group

This summer 39 students from local dance school, Syston-based Goscote Dance, successfully auditioned to perform at Disneyland Paris in August 2020. The successful students will travel to Paris in August next year and perform a 20-minute show for audiences at the Disney theme park.
The students have been working hard over the summer to raise money to help fund this opportunity and their goal is to raise enough to fund the trip for each dancer involved. They have been fundraising and performing at a number of summer fetes and will be bag-packing at the local supermarkets during the autumn. So far they have received a tremendous amount of support from family and friends in the way of help and donations – even a sponsored head shave by one dedicated ‘Dance Dad’! The response from the local community has also been amazing and several local businesses have generously donated money or items to sell or use as prizes at events. The businesses involved to date include: Evolve Yoga, Gamble & Hollis Butchers, Goscote Nurseries, ‘We’re All Mad Here’ gift shop, Leicester Tigers, and The Plough and their customers in East Goscote. The students from Goscote Dance would like to say a big thank you for the support they have received so far.
The fundraising committee also has several events planned over the coming months including a Christmas Shopping Event which will be held at The Plough in East Goscote, during the evening of 28th November, and an evening of comedy and entertainment provided by the one and only Ceri Dupree on 7th February 2020 at the Conservative Club in Syston.
It will be a busy year for the dancers as they work hard to raise money for their trip to Disneyland Paris while preparing and rehearsing for their performance in August and we wish them every success in making their dreams come true!
Goscote Dance’s annual show is a highlight of the year for the school giving the dancers the opportunity to showcase their talents. This year the show will take place from 22nd-23rd November at Crownhills Community College, Leicester, where the students will hold a raffle to help with their fundraising and there will be some fantastic prizes on offer. Everyone is welcome so if you would like to come along to watch the dancers perform, tickets for the dance show go on sale on 30th October and are available from Karen Price tel: 0771 973 7892.
