Expression

Through Dance We not only love to dance, and live to

dance, but KFA Moves is all about

expressing thoughts, feelings and ideas

through dynamic movement.

Once again, our North East Regional

Showcase Festival was a rich

cornucopia of rhythmic leitmotifs:

lyrical, jazzy, funky, thought-

provoking and joyful ……but always a

happy get-together.

The Dolphin Centre, Darlington

Saturday 17th May 2014

Review We have had some really positive comments on the whole show – that it was varied and slick. The variety of items was very good – including branch, NE, National Festival and solo/duet and

Youth Moves performances. Guests from National have given us some brilliant feedback. The Mayor and Mayoress of Darlington also thought it was wonderful, and they were asking pertinent questions, saying we had a “good, social community”. They stayed for the whole

performance, and lingered afterwards. The video-recording guys also thought it was fabulous. We managed to bring in some new people to our audience who had never seen it before, and

comments from one gentleman regarding the fact that it was great to see older people dancing. Pierremont School were excellent and filled the floor with their large number of performers and also our audience with their supporters. (Catherine Gilsenan)

Youth Moves and Young Adults have once again made us

very proud! Lots of variety and creativity was seen

throughout the Panorama show, and they performed with

so much style and charisma. Senior Youth Moves are

showing much potential and will all hopefully become part

of Northern Lights and Young adults’ team in the future. A

big thank you to all performers for your hard work!

Holly and Rowanne performed their fabulous

championship duo and the audience absolutely loved it!

Thank you girls.

A huge thank you to all Youth Moves Teachers for your constant dedication and

commitment to the North East and Youth Moves. Thank you to all helpers/and

chaperones without you the children cannot perform! WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR

SUPPORT!! (Janet Balfour)

U.DANCE EXTRAVAGANZA 2014

Park View Community Association Theatre,

Church Chare, Chester le Street, Co Durham DH3 3PZ

(Monday 17th November 2014 at 6.30pm)

Tickets: Adults - £5, Children - £2.50

This is our 12th KFA Moves Extravaganza which showcases the wonderful work and dedication our

Youth Moves, Young Adults and Northern Lights Dance Group produce. This event is supported by

Youth Dance England, who aim to provide every child and young person in England with the

chance to dance. After all, it is in performance that we really get to see and celebrate what can be

achieved by individuals and groups of young people.

Healthy habits make healthy bodies and minds, and being fit is an important part of being healthy.

Our way of dancing helps develop stamina, suppleness and strength, as well as self-esteem and

confidence, in a safe non-competitive environment. The accent is on fun and enjoyment, whilst

getting fit.

Our teams and teachers are working extremely hard to put this show together which we know you

will enjoy.

If you would like to dance and become involved with one of our teams please get in touch with

Christine Chapman, 0191 3884205 [email protected]

North East

Fitness Freestyle Team

with Lisa Clarke Fitness Freestyle is a dance based form of exercise which incorporates elements of

fitness - stamina, strength, flexibility and agility. These elements have been included in the

choreography but the emphasis is about enjoyment for the team and the audience. It’s

quirky, fun and also keeps you fit.

North East Skipping Team

with Jackie Oliver "As always, the NE Skipping team enjoyed performing at Panorama. Our music was Holiday Suite and we tried to incorporate various scenarios about going on holiday - waiting in queues, meeting new friends, chilling out, watching the waves, hustle and bustle and finally coming home."

Jackie Oliver Linda Killip also organises a skipping club every other Thursday evening at Belmont Parish Church Hall Durham 8.00pm till 9.30pm. The new term starts on 4th Sept 2014 (fortnightly). If anyone would like to have a go, get in touch with Linda on: tel. (01642) 311157 ([email protected])

of keep fitters!!

These fabulous NE members aged 61 to 86, were a pleasure to teach! They gave their all during all the rehearsals and on the day but never forgot their sense of fun! They also, using their brilliant performance skills, captured the flavour of the Spanish music and theme! Muchas Gracias! Olé!

10th Anniversary Celebrations!

B’ Active ‘N’ B’ it ( ormerly Sit ‘N’ B’ it), held their 10th Anniversary Celebration on 30th May at the Raich Carter

Sports Centre, attended by the Mayor and Mayoress of Sunderland, and at which the group members

demonstrated a typical routine. The organisation, founded by Lynn Summerside, and joined by Linda Morton

(both KFA-trained) has achieved a great deal from its beginnings. Starting with only two seated exercise classes,

they obtained funding from Sunderland Council to enable city-wide delivery, and the organisation became a

cooperative, and later a Community Interest Company.

Lynn and her company have been awarded many accolades, notably for their work in the community. Lynn has

spoken to parliamentarians and was asked to become an ambassador for the Social Enterprise Fund, attending an

international event in Italy promoting good practice. Most recently, the organisation has been instrumental in

the development of a community fitness centre in Horsely Hill, South Tyneside, which was opened in January by

HRH Princess Anne, and holds classes to tackle all aspects of disability.

The organisation currently has over 530 people accessing services on a weekly basis from their own homes as well

as in community venues and residential homes across the city of Sunderland.

“We have had some great highs, and have wor ed hard through the lows, of the last ten years, and since 2004

have won some great plaudits.” (Lynn Summerside, Managing Director and ounder) .
