Dumfries Based Body Electric Dance & Soul Studio presented their annual senior show – The Ultimate Dance show 2014 on Saturday 31st May , which was held at DG ONE . The audience were treated to the 15th senior show which along with 8 junior shows makes 23 shows in 9 and a half years for Body Electric
Around 200 local nine to nineteen year old’s took to the stage wowing an audience of around 400 Dance fans and Proud family members . The evening consisted of a range of Hip Hop, Street and Contemporary dance.
Due to the venues closure scheduled for later in the year the show had to be very quickly brought forward but the standard remained as high as ever which many of the audience conveyed after the show.

Proprietor Louise McVie told DGWGO “I am very proud of all of our dancers and my team of instructors, despite the short time we had to prepare the standard was as high as ever. Every child who danced was a star and gave the audience everything they had .”
“ The feedback we have had has only been positive with many of the audience saying they cant wait for next year ‘ Among the performances included moving solos from senior dancers some of which took to the stage for the last time with Body Electric. “
“Many of these dancers have been with the school since they were small children. “
Proprietor Louise also said “ Emotions were high when saying goodbye and good luck to our senior leavers who have inspired the younger dancers for so many years. I would like to thank them for their dedication to BEDS and wish them all the best in their futures ‘ The next time Body Electric gather at DG ONE will be next year when the school celebrate 10 years trading , an evening which is certainly not to be missed. “
