Last evening DH and I were priviledged to go to the most wonderful show in the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall by the students and past students of the Dance School of Scotland and the Musical Theatre School of Scotland both of which are based at Knightswood Secondary School in Glasgow.
These young people put on a show that far outpassed many a professional show from classical ballet to exerpts from Les Miserables and West Side Story with other things in between for 2 hours.
This particular show was called Celebration as this year is the 25th anniversary of the Dance School's inception and 10 years since the Musical Theatre courses started. Many of these young people have gone on to dance with the Royal Ballet, Scottish Ballet and companies around the world.
We are so lucky to have such home grown talent and it is such a pity that it is the tiny minority of today's youth that get the headlines in the media are the ones behaving badly, and not the young such as we saw last night who are a credit to their generation for their dedication and enthusiasm
Off my soapbox now ( :-)
