Summerscales Performers are chosen for their dedication to the school and to their dancing. Students from the school showing progress and studying at least three subjects of Ballet, Tap and Modern will be considered by the Principal and Artistic Director and then invited into the Society.
As part of the society the students participate in displays around the country and biannually to date have performed at many different venues abroad. The performers perform different displays at a variety of venues and themes at the discretion of the host. The dancers age range from 7 to 21.
The performers most memorable moments were in Australia 2000 for the Sydney Olympic Games where they were the only entertainment from the UK to be Ambassadors for the country. After fund raising and advertisement they were able to live the dream and performed at many venues around Sydney, including the Olympic Village and Stadium.
Other notable successes were a group of 41 performers who travelled to Paris, France for a special performance for Disney at the Disneyland Paris Resort as part of the Magic Music Days in Summer 2002. Then the Performers travelled to Spain and performed at many locations around the Costa Dora.
Further successes in Holland and Germany witnessed standing ovations for their performances in Summer 2004, and this summer they are again venturing abroad to Disneyland Paris and the Black Forest in Germany.
The Performers are unique, they are amiable, and professional, giving fantastic performances every time, any time and whatever the weather, space, or day. The Performers are malleable by even changing in the smallest places.
