YOUNGSTERS have been working hard for their upcoming dance show.

The Tina Phelps Stage School will be celebrating 20 years with their performance of Can you Feel It at the Towngate Theatre, in St Martin’s Square, Basildon, on Thursday, June 1 and Friday, June 2.

Over 160 performers, aged between three up to adults, will take to the stage to show off their jazz, ballet, tap, modern, contemporary, acro, musical theatre and modern dance skills.

The theme of the show is feelings and it aims to take the audience on an emotional rollercoaster from start to finish.

There are over 450 costumes, promising to offer a very exciting and diverse show.

Tina Phelps, who runs the school, said: “Months of preparation have gone into the production and everyone is now really excited and geared up to perform.

“We only do a show every couple of years so it is really exciting and everyone has worked so hard.

“I am really proud of all of them, everyone has worked so hard, it is going to be a great show.

“We have been rehearsing for months and will start rehearsing in the theatre from Tuesday to prepare for the show.”
