DARE (Dalton And Rawthorpe Entertainers) showcased an evening of music and dance
A big thank you from everyone from Suga Brown for the YOF funding
which allowed us to run some great DJ, Music and Dance workshops for
local young people. They were followed up with a brilliant showcase on
Friday 20th April 2007.
As a result of the workshops several music tracks were produced, along
with a song that was written with a backing track, which was performed
at the event. Dance workshops were also delivered at DRAM and Deighton
centres and showcased at the D.A.R.E. event.
