Join us to celebrate their achievement and see the results of their hard work!
This unique performance, blends Hollywood and Bollywood influences. We’re also excited to have the Bramley Mermaids Club and Bollywood dancers from the Zoobin Surty Company across Yorkshire join us in this vibrant aquatic celebration!
