This last week has been a busy one for photographing local dance and theatre groups. Createmovedance in Kington Langley is a dance group for toddlers and older children and a demonstration class is given each December to show the parents a little of what the children can do. Some of these children are so young and so cute! Here is a picture of the youngest ones all dressed up and playing their part in Sleeping Beauty.

The rest of the week was the turn of some slightly older children from Chippenham Youth Theatre, who were performing Aladdin. The shows actually took place at Stonar School last weekend, but I went along to the post show class of each age group to get some relaxed pictures of the children dressed in their costumes and then dressing up in anything they could find in the dressing up box! There was definitely an "end-of-term" atmosphere. They all have so much fun, learning, performing and having a great time with friends. I enjoy taking their pictures and seeing how the youngsters develop year by year.
