STDT's Resident Dance Tutor - Lisa Kennedy watched in the wings as her two Scottish Fusion dance groups perfomed at the Theatre Royal Glasgow as part of Go Dance 09.

The newly formed Fuse Dance Groups first public performance 'Tam's Fate', was a modern take on the famous Burns poem 'Tam O Shanter' shortly followed by Lornshill Fusion Dancers performance 'brawchaiyya' a Bollywood enspired piece. This was an extremely successful day, and we are sure that there will be many more public performances to follow.

Both dance pieces were choreographed by STDT's Resident Dance Tutor - Lisa Kennedy

STDT would like to thank all the performing dancers for a fantastic effort and parents for their support with this event.
