The young performers from Razzamataz Barnet took part in the Disney parade, dazzling crowds as part of the network’s 25th anniversary celebrations.
Michael French, principal of Razzamataz Barnet, said: “At Razzamataz, we go beyond outstanding performing arts training to create unforgettable experiences that inspire young people to discover their true potential.
“By opening doors to opportunities outside of their everyday routines, we help build confidence, give them a voice and allow them to view the world with fresh eyes and limitless possibilities.”
The Disneyland performance was a long-awaited return to the stage after a planned 2020 visit was cancelled due to the pandemic.
The excitement surrounding this year’s trip meant it sold out in record time.
Parents praised the experience and the school’s approach.
Anna, mother of senior student Marija Sycheva, said: “This was an amazing trip and we made so many amazing memories.”
The parents of junior student Emma Martin added: “The smile on Emma’s, and all the children’s, faces is a real testament to how well Razzamataz have worked to give all these children confidence and opportunities.”
Hannah and Margaret Whitfield Bott described the parade as “a sea of Razzamataz students, dancing, concentrating and above all grinning from ear to ear at being given the opportunity to perform on such an amazing stage as the parade route of Disneyland Paris.”
Razzamataz Barnet offers weekly classes in dance, drama, and singing for children aged four to 18, with additional sessions for those considering vocational training.
