Cornish Pirates

Flava On ITV's 'Britain's Got Talent'
19th May 2008

Anyone watching ITV's 'Britain's Got Talent' programme this past weekend will have been mightily impressed by the Penzance based dance group 'Flava', whose robotic and stylish routine ended with an explosive finish that demanded applause.

The plaudits bestowed upon the seven hoody-clad youngsters by judges Piers Morgan, Amanda Holden and Simon Cowell were just about as good as you could get, with the whole of Cornwall now hoping that they will progress to perform at the Royal Variety Show.

Supporters of the Cornish Pirates will remember that younger members of 'Flava' entertained when we played the Cornish All Blacks at Camborne last December, and we also had a collection for them at our game against Esher in February when they were raising much needed funds to help send a 32 of their dancers to masterclasses in Los Angeles.

Interestingly, Cornish Pirates community sponsor 'Speedy Hire', supports not just rugby, but also dancing, with coach dancing lined up to take part in 20 Cornish Primary Schools a year. Top dancers, like our rugby players, are fine role models for Cornish children looking to be involved in something rewardingly worthwhile

'Flava' were choreographed by Fiona Richardson who is commended for the work she has done for the benefit of so many youngsters. For further information visit the Fiona Richardson School of Dance website www.fionarichardson.com
