Hi Alison
Just a quick email to say how we thoroughly enjoyed the show on Monday night.
Amelia was so excited and proud to be a part of it and she made a fabulous Ratty!
It was so professional, the costumes were all great and fab choice of music for all the different acts too.
I just don't know how you do it with a family to look after too, you must be really happy that it went so well.
I hope you have a well deserved break over Easter and we will see you after the break.

Hi Alison,
Thanks so much for putting on an amazing show. I can only imagine all the work that went into the costumes, routines and the organisation...not to mention the pressure of putting it all together this weekend.
It was so much fun, Oscar loved it and we loved it, thanks so much!

Lilyrose enjoyed herself dispite the crying & would love to be on stage again. I'm sure next time she'll be much better as she'll know what to expect. Aidan said he'd love to have more lines & do more singing & dancing. He had a fabulous time!
The whole show was wonderful. It was lovely seeing the children enjoying themselves so much. A huge thank you to you all.
Please say thank you to all your helpers from Aidan, Lilyrose & their parents.

What an incredible dance show this was! The hard work from Alison and everyone else really did pay off, her determination is so admirable! Helping at the show made me realise how much I miss dancing and brought back such lovely memories that I will treasure forever, this dance school, Alison, Anna, chris and all the helpers were a massive part of my childhood and I'm so glad that I still get to keep in touch and help out at the amazing show they put on every year!! Well done everyone but an even bigger well done to Alison for putting on another incredible show

Yesterday Ella took part in a brilliant dance show with The Chris Wright's School of Dance and Drama. It was an amazing show and all the kids performance was brilliant. Ella's confidence has grown so much since she started drama. To see her on stage doing a performance on The Boy in the Stripped pyjamas brought huge tears to my eyes! The piece was so moving and so well done.
A big thank you to all involved for bringing my daughter out of her shell. She loved every minute.
Christine Cowan
Well what an amazing show last night, well done to all involved, especially my Pavel aka Beth Glennon you were brilliant, all the hard work paid off, a wonderful weekend thanks for allowing me to be a part of it and seeing a little of what goes on behind the scenes, you are all amazing Chris Wright's School Of Dance and Drama xxx

Chris Wright's School of Dance and Drama Thank You for such a fantastic opportunity! Macey Ella has loved every single minute and was absolutely beaming!! Not looking forward to waking her up in the morning though
Michelle Rollin
So unbelievably proud of my girlies tonight, and so grateful to Chris Wright's School of Dance and Drama and your team! I have watched them make fantastic friends and grow in confidence over the last year!! Freja is growing into a confident young lady, and spends so much time with you, you are all a very important influence for her! And Heidi?? Well I have no idea how she remembered so many different dances, or how you get my wild one to even be quiet and listen long enough to do what you want! I have no idea how you managed to get her in so many different costumes, and hairstyles! I am in absolute awe!!!
The flowers are beautiful, a lovely surprise, but totally unnecessary, as was our programme mention! (Extra fame is perfect for H!) It is all of you that deserve all the gifts and credit for your patience, time and dedication, not only with the kids but also with the (sometimes) over anxious parents (holds hand up quietly here!!). Thank you so much to you, teachers, adult helpers and the older kids who help the younger ones learn too! Now time for you to chill!! Thank you!!!
Kim Orritt
Is mega proud of Megan! She was a little superstar! How she had the confidence to go out on stage in front of so many people and act like a professional and sing her heart out I'll never know. Your solo was amazing little lady!
Thank you Chris Wright's School of dance and drama for another fantastic show!
To everyone involved with the boy in his striped pyjamas wow you were amazing! It was so beautifully acted and the dancers just blew me away! It was so moving and brought the hairs up on the back of my neck! Well done to Jenny for the wonderful musicals through the ages - the kids did your arrangement proud xxxx. Thank you to Alison and her team for all you have done to get 2 shows together and give the children a fantastic experience never to be forgotten! You are the best guys xxxx.

Fantastic show at the Atkinson. Everyone was fantastic and I cried with pride at my little superstar Aimee. Anyone looking for dance or drama classes for their kids I cannot praise Chris Wright's School of Dance and Drama high enough. Everyone worked so hard and it was brilliant!

Hi Alison. Just messaged to see if you and baby James are ok? Unfortunately I think you may know by now that I won't be able to come back because of other commitments. I have an amazing opportunity to go to America next year to do a summer camp for 9 weeks where I will be working with children, and I would like to thank you for the amount of amazing teaching and experience you have given me! Although as I said I have left I would still love to volunteer and help out at any shows or displays that get put on between now and May/June because I still love watching all the children have fun and learn from great teachers at the same time. You have taught me so much over the years and that has helped me achieve so much and help my confidence grow through all situations I've had in life. So thank you so much! It has been one of the best experiences of my life!

Hi Alison just wanted to say a big thank you for having the girls, Katie was made up with her gift for helping with modern she really enjoys it. Yesterday's show was great I finally got to see Katie dance I loved it can't wait for show new year. The girls confidence has grown so much over the years and a lot of the credit is from you and the other girls. Katie would love to start the senior jazz in September so count her in for that. If I don't see you before hope everything goes smoothly with birth of baby number 2 . Thanks again for being such an inspiration to the girls xxxxx
Jo
Whilst it's fresh in my head (coz you have probably gathered it's rather like a sieve!). Thank you so much for everything you have all done with my girls this last term! They love dancing with you, but they are also learning so much more than dance. They know vocabulary for positions which they've never known before, and each time you introduce a new national dance Heidi tells me all about its meaning and history and wants to learn more (this morning I was treated to ribbons and lonely men!!!)

Dear Alison and Anna, just wanted to say a huge thank you for a lovely afternoon last Sunday. Juliette had a fabulous time and really enjoyed spending her day with all the girls from the Performance Team. My parents are visiting at the moment and I was so happy they were able to watch her as well. We all really enjoyed it and you should be proud of your ‘little dancers’ They were amazing!!!! Thank you for all you do.

Thanks Alison for allowing Evie to take part in the Panto. Evie has thoroughly enjoyed herself and especially her little solo. All the kids were amazing and a real pleasure to look after. You, Anna and Chris should take the credit for producing such wonderful performers who are not phased by dancing, singing and acting in front of a huge audience even from the age of five. I knew all those years ago when we joined Chris Wright's that it was the right place for my kids and it still feels the same now. They both adore coming to lessons. Thanks again for all you do.

Hi Alison
Just wanted to say you and your crew did a fabulous job with the show, we thoroughly enjoyed it, there was so much packed in, it must have taken a lot of time, effort and dedication. It's a credit to you, Isabella impressed us all just being on stage, we just have to work on seeing her beautiful face without her finger in her mouth, hee hee. Thanks again and despite looking very daunted, she really enjoyed doing it and asked if she could do it again!!!
