Three generations of the same family are treading the boards together at the Alhambra this weekend.
Budding ballerina Clara Hunter, four, is a pupil at the DM Academy in Shipley , which is putting on a dance show called A Stroke of Genius, paying tribute to artists from Van Gogh to David Hockney .
Clara, who will be performing a routine to I Do Like to Be Beside the Seaside, in tribute to Jack Vettriano, is joined in the show by her mum Janet Hunter, who attends classes at Zumbabradford Belles. Janet’s mother, and Clara’s grandmother, Brenda Smith, also a Zumbabradford Belle, is in the show too.
“The show is packed with huge production values, a fabulous backing track and lots of impressive dancing by a cast 200 local children and 40 Zumbabradford Belles,” said DM Academy principal Deana Morgan.
“This is the first time that zumba will be performed on the Alhambra stage, and all with a very artistic twist.”
