Rehearsals Day 7 - A new week - a new show!

So that's it - we've moved on! Hitsville USA is in the "ongoing" pile, and our next show - Destination Dance is at the top of the agenda. (Don't believe what hear that where the Singer's dancing is concerned it has been nicknamed 'dance disaster' - that's a cruel rumour!)

(Valerie doing what she does best!)

The Dancers have returned from their sojourn to the outer reaches of Greater London and are back from their extended weekend break. Not that we're bitter... It's great to have people back in the same place - Alford House was a little empty last week without them. Quieter, true, but empty nonetheless.

And today is the FIRST time the whole Azura Headliners cast has been together. Daniel has finished his Panto up in Derby (yep - it would have been a little too far for him to travel each day!) and Natalie has joined us ( - having only auditioned and got the part on Saturday... good girl!) we we're complete. Hurrah!

And no sooner had we all met together at last - than we all scampered off our separate ways to start working on the new material; singers to your singing room; dancers to your mirrors.

(Steph takes to the stage, have done a shimmy or two with her 'dancer boys' [and doesn't she love it!] and the girls join to do her number.)

There is a little less material for us singers to do in this show, as it's the dancers' showcase. So it'll great to have the chance to see a bit of what they've been doing as well.  The show combines some classic dance music, some musical theatre, some film music and some good 'ole Rock & Roll :-) We will be getting the chance to do some really exciting close-harmony work on a version of "A Nightingale Sang In Berkley Square" ... but we're saving that for tomorrow!!

(The dancers get to grips with some Carnival...)
And to finish off the day, Ashley and I were put into the opening number... and forewarned about the big Brazilian Carnival costumes we will have coming our way - comedy! Shimmying to my heart's content :-) I can't wait until there are some photos of that to show you!
