Twisted
Each term at Perform X, we put together a specially choreographed dance that combines the techniques we've been working on with a reinvented story. This term we're working on a spectacular street dance based on Oliver Twist.
Meet Oli T, a poor orphan slaving away in Mr Bumble’s cruel workhouse. With the simple words ‘Can I have some more?’ he finds himself cast out to the mean streets of Victorian London. Together with talented girl rapper, Charley, and the cheeky Artful D, Oli joins bad boy Fagin and his band of hip hop thieves. But disaster strikes when he is arrested for a crime he didn't commit. Can Oli dance his way out of trouble and will Mr. Brownlow help him find the happiness he deserves?
This modern take on the gritty classic takes a good hard look at society and asks, ‘Don’cha think it’s kinda twisted?’

Ruby is always buzzing with excitement when I pick her up from her Perform X class. She practices her moves with enthusiasm all the time. The teacher, Oliver, is full of fun and has a great attitude which promotes confidence and happiness in all the children. I can't recommend the class enough.
River says it’s "amazing", "awesome", "brilliant", "hard work" and "the best dance class".
The workshop was well structured giving children plenty of opportunities to learn the dance steps and then to have a go at choreographing their own short dance. They worked as individuals and as a group. The theme was engaging and the children really enjoyed it.
Vincenzo really enjoys the Perform classes and is excited about the Rise of the Robots performance. The teachers did a very good job at integrating Vincenzo into the existing group of children and I was glad to see him comfortable and excited about the classes. He is very happy with Perform.
My children had a great time with Oliver and Perform. They love to come every week and enjoyed the Rise of the Robots dance.
I’m delighted with the new Perform X dance classes. They’re perfect for my son – really lively and fun whilst structured to get children active and give them a real confidence boost.
