MY wife and I went to the Garrick Theatre in Altrincham recently to see my granddaughter who was dancing in the Clare Tanner dance show ‘Like a Rainbow’ and it was a fantastic show from beginning to end and very professional in the production in every way.

The costumes and colours were eye catching and the music and dance was fantastic and it left you feeling very happy at the end.

During this year I have attended the Joy Nicholson Dance Academy, and the June Rendell Dance Academy for the Altrincham Festival and I was thrilled to see the quality that is produced by these groups and all the dancers, young and old, who perform. What a great service you provide for us.

It makes me feel very proud to be a councillor in Trafford and it shows just how much talent we have in Trafford.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to all the teachers of the above dance groups and to say without your time and patience we would all miss these wonderful shows that you provide for the community in Trafford.

However it would not be possible without the sterling support of families, friends and helpers.

Also to see these shows performed at the Garrick and in BTH school show what wonderful performances you present for us all.
