Bay radio hello how are you uh welcome
0:03
to anybody that's uh joined us on
0:05
YouTube wave on YouTube and uh it's
0:08
Dougie here at Bay and I'm here with
0:10
Lucy glister today hi Lucy hi everybody
0:13
how are you Dougie I'm good what you
0:15
been up to wow we're just rehearsing for
0:17
this fantastic show that I'm producing
0:19
absolutely no I've been I've been
0:21
following it been following the uh the
0:23
way it's all coming together it's
0:24
looking great and the last year's one I
0:27
mean the if if you don't know what we're
0:29
talking about you need to see this uh
0:32
the videos of of what happened before
0:34
it's a massive production and it gives a
0:37
great chance to to youngsters
0:39
um amateurs to go out of that massive
0:41
World stage absolutely it's a
0:44
world-renowned um venue that I think we
0:46
forget it's right on our doorstep and
0:48
the idea of it is to give a platform for
0:50
all our young performers dancers singers
0:52
to get on stage and have this
0:54
professional experience at Benidorm
0:56
Palace so yeah it was a brainchild of
0:58
mine to sort of think having my own
1:00
dancing school how we can work together
1:03
and collaborate to celebrate dance
1:04
because otherwise you wouldn't be able
1:06
to have to be able to do that by
1:07
yourself do you know what I mean so this
1:09
Sunday March 26 at Benidorm Palace it is
1:13
a time to shine with 270 children so
1:17
it's quite an event it's quite a big
1:18
thing to put together but we were there
1:20
on Saturday doing the technical
1:21
rehearsal and it's looking spanking it's
1:23
amazing there's such diversity we've got
1:26
Flamenco we've got tap we've got hip-hop
1:28
we've got Street dance musical theater
1:30
it's a massive array with seven
1:32
different schools participating now this
1:34
is all
1:35
um uh it's not a competition no it's
1:38
non-competitive right because I think
1:40
there are competitions out there and a
1:42
lot of the schools do compete however I
1:44
think sometimes it's nice to remember
1:45
that actually dance is about performance
1:47
and yes there's a competition in that
1:50
you know somehow like if you're
1:51
auditioning as a professional but for
1:53
the average child that goes to a dancing
1:55
school they're doing it because they
1:56
love it and sometimes they don't have
1:58
that they don't want to go into the
1:59
company it's quite scary so they don't
2:02
necessarily get that opportunity so yeah
2:04
it's a non-competitive celebration of
2:07
dance that's how I like to look at it
2:09
and that we're all supporting each other
2:10
and as a network of dance schools that's
2:13
really important that we do support each
2:14
other and respect each other not compete
2:16
all the time
2:17
so logistically is that going that's not
2:21
a job you want to take on surely it's
2:24
it's a big ask it's it's um but it's a
2:26
lot of collaboration I have to get all
2:27
the information from all the dance
2:28
teachers and then if it's a running
2:30
order that's complicated because
2:32
obviously they need time to change and
2:34
it depends how long one piece is some
2:35
have got a nine minute slots and we've
2:37
got two minutes basically depending on
2:39
how many children they have in the show
2:40
you get a certain amount of time and
2:42
then I split that time up so yeah it's
2:44
quite um it's quite a an action-packed
2:47
day let me put it that way I have
2:48
Runners so we're going to call the kids
2:50
and get them ready and it's on off on
2:52
off yeah it's quite a big production but
2:54
that's what I do excellent yeah well it
2:57
is you've done it for how long now oh
2:59
Dougie let us not go there my first
3:01
professional job was a professional
3:03
dancer was at 15 right at the Winter
3:05
Gardens Margate which is not that long
3:07
then Norman Wisdom no not that long ago
3:09
at all
3:10
um yeah that was my first job that's
3:12
where I got my Equity card and then from
3:13
there I carried on you know dancing
3:15
professionally West End Etc then I went
3:17
and producing and I worked for opened up
3:19
airtel's first cruise ships and then I
3:22
went on to open up and do show
3:23
production on there in Ibiza and then
3:26
yeah basically led to me having my own
3:28
dancing school now in more retirement
3:30
age and that is when I just thought
3:33
listen there's this Market that we need
3:34
to give these kids a professional
3:36
opportunity you know not just doing it
3:38
in a local theater it's brilliant and we
3:40
have the Drone footage on the day so
3:42
kids are all outside cheering and
3:44
they've all got their t-shirts on of
3:45
their schools it's fantastic it really
3:48
is excellent so um now we need bums on
3:52
seats I mean you've yes no doubt got
3:54
plenty anyway but this is this is a show
3:57
not to be missed isn't it absolutely and
3:59
again we don't force the parents to pay
4:01
any money to be participating in it we
4:02
used to sort of say listen if everyone
4:04
can sell two tickets that's great but
4:06
the public should be coming too because
4:08
I think nobody's aware of how amazing
4:09
this show is right and it's it's
4:11
brilliant it's really well produced you
4:14
can sit at benazon Palace have a drink
4:15
be waited on hand and foot and it
4:17
experience the absolute you know glamor
4:20
that is there is such a great venue have
4:22
you been I've been to the minimum Palace
4:24
many a time it's so good I took my my
4:27
daughter there for her I think it was a
4:29
18th or 19th for the show she's 33 now
4:33
oh blessing I know oh she's a baby still
4:36
but yeah it is a night of opulence and I
4:39
think you feel very special so if you
4:41
want to come and support the local kids
4:43
and it's not just children we've got
4:44
children I think the youngest is five up
4:46
to like 20 year olds so we've got
4:48
professional Flamenco dancers you know a
4:50
professional at that level
4:51
um and it's a real diverse mix so it's a
4:54
great show you can get your tickets by
4:56
