Newbury Contemporary Youth Dance Company

Also on Saturday in the evening Mum and I went to the Corn Exchange to see this years concert by the NCYDC. We saw 21 different dances by children and young people aged 13 to 19. The standard was extremely high; some of the dances by the older ones could have been professional to my eyes. The performers come from Newbury and further afield, including Reading and Basingstoke.

I have to make a special mention of the guest stars, the Parasite Dance Company from Basingstoke; their style was quite different – hip hop with a twist. Dressed as mad professors in white coats, dark glasses and wild hair their dance was witty, energetic and perfectly timed to the music.
