Telecoms provider, LIME, has partnered with From Within Dance (FWD) Company for the inaugural staging of FWD Dancing with the Stars – Teachers Edition for their third season.
The second show, which took place on last Sunday (31st January), at the Anguilla Great House, was a well-attended and successful event, showcasing Anguillan talent in a different and innovative way. With FWD Founder, Ms Amber Woodley, and her production team sparing nothing in the execution there is little wonder the event was a fantastic experience for all who attended.
The event, which pairs teachers from both primary and secondary school with professional dancers as their coaches and puts them against each other, showcased 6 couples. They were paired and are identified by colours.
Teachers Eva and Teacher Carl (purple); Principal Paula and Teacher Zuri (pink); Teacher Uldean and Teacher Akio (orange); Teacher Collin and Teacher Alisha (green); Teacher Randah and Teacher Franklin (blue); and Teacher Nigel and Teacher Jameisha (yellow).
Coached with professional dancers from the FWD Dance Company, the teachers presented a performance for one and a half minute, themed “High School Crush” for round one and “The Breakup” for round two. The show was judged by three individuals, namely, Kerith Kentish, Nichola Macdonald and Sarah Francis who will combine their score with the votes that each contestant receives from the audience.
The audience, votes by texting the colour of their favourite couple to 3100 (Text cost EC$1). Every Month, one couple will be eliminated until the finale in May 2016. Unfortunately, Blue team was eliminated this round. “We would like to extend a huge thank you to Teacher Franklin and Randah for their participation in this inaurgural event.” Jade Reymond, Marketing Manager said.
The next showcase will be Tuesday March 1st 2016, at the Anguilla Great House, 8pm sharp. Check the Facebook page for more updates: www.facebook.com/limeaxa or www.facebook.com/fwddancing withthestars.
