Pinner Pantomime Evening
Congratulations to all who performed at the Pinner Pantomime evening. Although it was freezing cold, you did brilliantly! We are very proud of you.
Tapathon
TAPATHON 2017 this year involved 7,518 tappers!!! What an incredible achievement for us all — every year we are improving on the previous year's numbers. We fell short of the record by just 78 people.
Each year, thousands of tap dancers come together all over the UK, each one determined to smash the record. It's all in support of a great cause (BBC Children in Need) and this year the event raised
in excess of £38,600. Harrow Theatre Dance and Pinner Theatre Dance raised an additional £80 through our cake sale.
And save the date for TAPATHON 2018: Sunday 18th November. We're going to get this record broken!
Festivals
