That the Parliament congratulates the dancers at the Dunbar School of Dance on reaching the £40,000 fundraising milestone on the school’s 20th anniversary; notes that, on 15 January 2022, dancers took to the floor at The Brunton in Musselburgh for three shows and raised £2,038, which took the total amount collected for the Edinburgh Children’s Hospital Charity to over £40,000; understands that, traditionally, more than 200 dancers would perform at Dunbar Grammar school over three days, however, COVID-19 restrictions meant that this was not possible, and further understands that, instead, the group, which is based at Hallhill Sports Centre, travelled west to Musselburgh to perform on the big stage, and performed a variety of dances in ballet, jazz, commercial, hip hop, contemporary and lyrical.
