For weeks, our squad has been learning one dance in school halls, college studios and community spaces across the Tees Valley. On Sunday 11 October, they finally did it together, on the pitch where it counts.
The whole squad, together.
More than 300 people aged six to 79 walked out onto the Riverside pitch for the dress rehearsal. For most, it was the first time they'd met the other groups, and the first time they'd seen the size of the space..
Same pitch, 73 years apart.
Our youngest performer is six. Our oldest is 79. On Saturday they'll share the same pitch, the same music and the same stadium.
Thank you to Middlesbrough Football Club for having us, and to every teacher, group leader and parent who got people there.
