Twenty-five talented J’s Dance Factory students performed at the Barbican Theatre for the KCL Diwali Show. It was a great opportunity for them to share the stage with some of the best Asian dance crews in the UK. Lots of fun was had by all. Well done to all who took part and thank you to all who helped chaperone.

On Monday 23rd May, J’s Dance Factory founder Jessica Elliott was invited to the House of Commons by charity Kids Count to receive a special commendation for the work J’s Dance Factory and sister company Dancing After School do to improve the lives of children.
