<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; line-height: normal; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #1c1c1c; font-family: Arial;">Have you seen the T-Mobile dance advert which took place in Liverpool Street Train Station in London? Well this is what we re-enacted, but with a slight difference :-) 400-500 people turned up and danced a 4 minute routine twice, in celebration of their freedom, whilst raising funds for a local charity, Headway Guernsey. My good friend, Deborah, also flew over especially and danced to raise money and be a part of the day! </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; line-height: normal; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="color: #1c1c1c;">The Island's Dance Academies, Cheerleaders, Majorettes and Secondary School Drama/P.E. teachers taught the routine to their students. I <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #1c1c1c; line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial;">travelled to Guernsey to teach half of the dance routine a week running up to the event, free of charge. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; line-height: normal; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="color: #1c1c1c;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #1c1c1c; line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial;">The aim was to involve as many students and teachers, staff and management from local businesses as possible.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #1c1c1c; line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial;">Also featuring in the event were the UK dance group “PERIDOT” – the reigning UK Hip Hop Champions for 2008 and 2009 and who have performed on BBC3’s “Move Like Michael Jackson” competition, Britains Got Talent <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>2010 and on the recent MOBO Awards amongst many others!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #1c1c1c; line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial;">My trip also involved a crazy interview on BBC Radio Guernsey, where I had to teach the presenter 'live'.... on air!! a few of the moves :-) Superb fun!</span></p>
