Welcome to our show !

Welcome to “Picture This”, our sixth show at the Rhoda McGaw theatre featuring dancers from Woking Dance Space and guest performers from the First Dance studio.

Since our last show we have welcomed many new faces as students, teachers, and even a new trustee, and we are delighted that the studio has become such a vibrant and thriving community resource. Of course this is only possible with the help and hard work of an army of volunteers and supporters, including you, our audience. So a huge thank you to you all!

This year we have created a theme for the first act, based around the concept of dancers at an art gallery, and we really hope you enjoy the result.

Best wishes
