New York 2022

Well finally after 3 years of planning, we finally made it to perform in New York City. Originally planned for 2021, a year later 11 students from Remain Nameless, finally took to the skies for 4 days of performing, workshopping, dinner cruising, and sightseeing.

First up was our own dance performance at the Minskoff Theatre, home of The Lion King, followed by a Disney workshop recreating the magic of the Lion King.

Then we had 3 workshops, a Hamilton workshop taken by Gabi Sorrentino (Hamilton swing), a tap workshop lead by Corbin Bleu, from the film, High School Musical and a question and answer followed by a mock audition, led by Gabrielle Carrubba. (Dear Evan Hanson).

The performance on Time Square took place at 8pm in the evening with all performing schools from across the world. Everyone danced together amongst the hustle and bustle of the crowds and underneath the bright lights.

The whole weekend was topped off by a Hudson River cruise where we dined and danced on the way to the Statue of Liberty, where we paused to take her in whilst looking across at the Manhattan skyline.

It was an experience like no other, both from a personal and professional front and we would like to thank COGO travel and Dance the World Broadway for a once in a lifetime opportunity. Words cannot express how the trip made everyone feel and although we were missing a fair few of the team, the performance squad represented Fusion Dance Academies from the UK in the most spectacular fashion. Stacey and I could not be prouder of the achievements our students are reaching. Here’s to our next adventure.
