Story

We've decided to embark upon this tap-a-thon whilst in lock down, as it's a great way for our pupils to focus their energy on something physical and feel a 'united' sense of achievement too!... It's raising money for a great cause and one that has affected us so personally, with the recent death of Great Mama, who we lost to lung cancer...

 Some of us older pupils remember attending a Roy Castle event back in day haha - somewhere in Birmingham mid 80's -  we boarded a double decker bus and joined in with Roy and loads of other dancers in an attempt to break a record for the most amount of dancers (or something like that! - I was only young at that point - can't say that now haha!) Even my Dad and my Brother joined in, though they won't thank me for mentioning that!

So here you are, Mareli's page, set to raise what we can for a great cause... If you want to join in and take part, you are more than welcome to!
