GAGA BAD Crew at TeenStar Auditions
Yesterday 7 of our dancers aged 10-14 went up to Bristol to audition to perform at the TeenStar Regional Finals.
We adapted our GAGA dance down from 3 1/2 minutes in the week and took a road trip for the 2 minute audition. They successfully got through to the next stage to perform at the TeenStar Regional Final Show. We had no idea what we were up against as it was a closed audition. The girls had to go into a dance studio with their music and perform in front of two judges and then we just had to wait about half an hour for the verdict. Exciting stuff. We now need to assess what our commitments are at Guildford Festival and hopefully make the regional show/heat in Bedford, Southampton or possibly Birmingham – fingers crossed we can make one of these work and not miss any of Guildford !!! Busy Times.
Thanks to Dan Keen for his commercial choreography and last minute editing of this number and well done for the girls to adapt it so quickly – particularly when they had an event on the Friday night with the full version at the Basingstoke Sports Awards where they had been nominated as finalists in the Junior Team of the Year category. They didnt win the category but we did have fun performing for everyone.
According to their website, “The TeenStar competition is the UK’s biggest search for teenage and pre-teen singing and dance acts, with prizes and opportunities for those teens serious about developing their talent. Industry judges include TV scouts, Record Label A&R, Management companies and more!
Every performer in the Grand Final will appear in a special highlights show to be broadcast on Showcase TV which can be viewed on Sky, FreeSat and online!”
