The Hackney Empire was bursting with creativity and talent last week on Tuesday evening at the Hackney Music Service Annual Gala Concert and Mayor's Music Awards. Kingsmead’s  Dynamix performed a vibrant drumming & dance piece called ‘The Spirit’ and blew the               audience away with their energetic and exciting routine. The audience were so captivated by them all with roars of encouragement and joy, especially when Ronel performed his astonishing acrobatic moves! A huge well done to all the Dynamix for making Kingsmead and their parents so proud! The children even got a huge round of applause outside the Empire from all the parents, carers and staff who came to see the show.

A special thanks goes to Miss Harley & Aaron for all their creativity, aspirations and the incredible work that goes into getting the performers ready for the actual show. A big thank you to all the staff – Julia, Amanda, Francoise &  Julie for organising the children and giving up their time to make this such a successful event. We are all looking forward to many more exciting  performances by the  Dynamix in the near future.
