The Moulsecoomb Hearts girls club, have had an exciting couple of months. They meet each Thursday at St. Georges Hall to take part in weekly dance classes with Hannah Wheeler, as part of the Positive Futures Project in East Brighton.

They have been working towards a number of performance opportunities and have received very favourable feedback from those who have seen their shows. On Thursday 11th July, they performed two dances in the Youth Dance Platform at The Windmill Theatre, Blatchington Mill.

The evening highlighted a wide range of dance styles and was performed by young people from all over Brighton. Some of the groups were from Youth Dance Companies, whilst others were GCSE/A level students. This was the first time the Hearts had performed at a proper venue, and although very nervous they excelled under the pressure. Professional photos were taken by Ben Johnson and the performance was well attended.

More recently the Moulsecoomb Hearts performed at the Day of Dance held at Moulsecoomb Leisure Centre as part of the Moulsecoomb Festival, organised by Jane Woolley, Brighton and Hove Dance Development Co-ordinator and Hannah Wheeler. Local residents were then encouraged to take part in a number of taster sessions, including youth dance, tai chi, basketball and fitness circuits. To catch the Moulsecoomb Hearts performing again you will need to come to the Positive Futures Summer Showcase at the Gardner Arts Centre. The showcase will highlight the work of young people in East Brighton in dance, sport, art and music.

If you are a local resident and would be interested in supporting this event please phone Hannah Wheeler on 01273 202 032. There are free tickets available but numbers are limited.
