Disney Magic 2010:

17 very lucky Allenova girls were delighted to find out that they had been selected to dance in their own show in the FESTIVAL STAGE which is located right in the centre of the park, we even had our name in the Bill board! We all travelled on the Eurostar into Disney land and then via shuttle bus to out hotel. After settling in we were shown to our own dressing room and warmed up before the show.

The show was magical as we were announced as 'Special Guest performance from The Allenova School of dancing from the UK. It was briliant being taken through the CAST ONLY entrance and feeling like VIPs.... such a wonderful opportunity we are now planning the next project, perhaps even dancing on a cruise liner!
