CCDA performed a flashmob to raise awareness for the Race for Life cancer charity run in Cirencester town centre.

Great fun was had at the CCDA non-uniform day as pupils danced around in their pyjamas and onesies, in aid of raising funds for the nominated Summer show charity.

Fabulous performances at South Cerney Fete from CCDA’s intermediate junior, pre junior and performance groups, as well as our new cheerleading group. Alongside fantastic solos from Molly, Caley, Hollie and duets from Elizabeth & Maddie, Hana-Jo & Charlie. All rounded off by a surprise Flashmob in South Cerney High Street.

CCDA graduates and professional dancers Camilla–Alicia Bates and Thomas Ashton danced at Wembley Arena for Richard Bransons national ‘We Day’.
