LAST WEEK, London’s dazzling West End came to Tarbert when some of its youngsters took part in Dancing Dookers’ Summer School.
Over four days, they had the chance to learn songs, dance routines and scripts from famous musicals such as Matilda, Singin’ in the Rain and Mary Poppins, before putting on a show to remember.
The classes were led by Rachael MacFarlane, a former pupil of Tarbert Academy who now lives and works in London, teaching and performing after training in musical theatre at CTA Performing Arts London drama school. She was assisted by Grace Graham, who is currently training in musical theatre at Salem State University in Massachusetts.
