However Sammy said that dancing at Wembley at the weekend was a big moment for her. “We danced in front of 80,650 people and performed to songs by the Grammy Award-winning Foxes who sang live at the stadium”. Headteacher, Mr Christey, praised the girls and their local dance school for their great achievement. “What a great experience, to dance in front of thousands of people, on live television, and show the world your talent. Sammie and Aisling are both very gifted dancers and clearly devote a great deal of their spare time to dancing. Their school is very proud of them both and in awe of their talents. Well done Sammie, well done Aisling!” Since the performance, Sammie has completed her first dance exam and achieved an “Honour” with a score of over 90%.
