A GROUP of young Basingstoke dancers got to fulfil their dreams when they performed in front of thousands of people in the iconic pre-parade at Disneyland Paris.

Around 29 students from Stagecoach Basingstoke travelled to France to perform in front of their families and thousands of international visitors at the tourist attraction on July 2.

The performance was part of the Disney Performing Arts OnStage programme.

Helen Watts, principal of Stagecoach Basingstoke, said: “The students worked hard towards t his performance and I was so proud to see them all on stage.

“For many of the students it was their first time performing in front of such a big audience and they were brimming with confidence.”

Mrs Watts added: “We all made lifelong memories at Disneyland this summer.”
