About the show...
We are thrilled to present our next bi-annual dance production, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
This much-loved story will be brought to life through dance, music, and storytelling, giving every student the opportunity to shine on stage.
The show is a highlight of the FAB calendar and a wonderful chance for dancers to perform as part of a full-scale production in a theatre setting.
