Youngsters perform Burnham-On-Sea summer show

A large audience of families has watched a special one-off summer variety performance at Burnham-On-Sea's Princess Theatre.

The event was the culmination of a week-long summer school organised by local group DanceFit.

Nineteen talented youngsters aged between 5 and 10 attended DanceFit’s third annual summer school which was called 'Build a Show in a Week'.

They spent the week learning songs, dance routines, scripts and making props ready for their performance of 'The Pirates of The Curry Bean'.

Victoria Roberts from DanceFit told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "It was an absolutely brilliant week, we all had lots of fun working on this production."

"The children really threw themselves into their roles and created a fantastic show."

She added: "We can’t quite believe the amount that the children achieved in one week.

"They all worked so hard not only during the day at the rehearsals but also when they went home, learning their lines, finding costumes and some even made some props that we needed."

"Everyone that took part should be really proud of themselves, and we are already looking forward to next year's summer school."
