Children from a Witham theatre school had the experience of a lifetime when they performed a special show and took part in a parade at Disneyland Paris.

A group of 32 six to 12 year olds from Rascals Theatre School wowed the audience at the Videopolis Theatre in the French resort with a 20 minute song and dance routine.

Diane Neave, of Rascals Theatre School, said: “It was such an amazing experience for the kids. Not only did they get to do their own show they took part in the Disneyland parade with all the characters.

“We had to put together our own show, we decided on our own theme, choreography and costumes.

Mrs Neave said the chosen theme was music through the ages, with hits from Will Smith, Kool and the Gang and the film Grease.
