Brownies earn their dance badge
The group learnt about traditional techniques like ballet, tap and jazz as well as learning and performing a rock and roll routine and contemporary dance while using drums to accompany the piece.
The session was lead by dance teacher Amanda Laycock, owner of A.L.L. Dance, and assisting her was 11-year-old Jessie Wade-Rathbone, who also has recently helped the Brownies gain another badge in disability awareness.
