A street dance teacher from Bradley Stoke’s Fahrenheit Dance Studio is to appear on stage at next week’s Royal Variety Performance in London.

Kane Silver, who teaches children in classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays at Bradley Stoke Leisure, has been chosen to dance with Britain’s Got Talent winner George Sampson at the prestige event.

Having been successful in the highly competitive auditions for the role, Kane is currently taking part in a week of rehearsals prior to the event, which takes place this Thursday (11th December) at the London Palladium, in the presence of Their Royal Highnesses, The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall.

Kane also coaches three of Fahrenheit’s dance troops, who compete regularly at venues around the country. The troops recently claimed second and fifth places at the Welsh UDO competition in Newport.

Television viewers will be able to see a recording of the Royal Variety Performance on Wednesday 17th December at 7:30pm on BBC1.

A team of dancers from Bradley Stoke has clinched first prize in their category at the recent United Dance Organisation’s (UDO’s) World Street Dance Championships in Blackpool. Fahrenheit Dance Studio’s ‘Escape’ troop was victorious in the under-14s newcomers category, contested by a total of 14 teams from around the globe.

Fahrenheit’s Miraille Dehaney, who trains three teams of dancers every Sunday at Bradley Stoke Leisure Centre, described the girls’ achievement as “amazing”.

The competition took place at Blackpool’s Winter Gardens, in front of a crowd of thousands. The audience figures were boosted by a guest appearance from Britain’s Got Talent star George Sampson, whom the Bradley Stoke girls were delighted to meet.
