by Jack Gilligan

A Co Kildare dance group has been selected to perform on the TV3 Toy Show this Friday at 9p.m.. The Celbridge group, Fit Kids/Fit Teens were attending a Hip Hop Slumber weekend with other members of the dance group from Leinster when a TV3 Film Crew burst in to tell them the news.

The group will be representing their families from countries  as far away  as Lithuania, Poland, Nigeria, Palestine, Russia, Cameroon.  The Fit Kids/Fit Teens meet every Wednesday in Scoil Mocha Celbridge under instructor Ciara Moran.  A TV3 spokesperson says the show will bring together super talented acts from across Ireland.

Founder of FitKids Jacinta Cassidy and some of the instructors selected twelve children from different parts in Leinster, with only two hours to prepare for their audition the children. Rachel Murphy and Donna Moran guided the group through their rehearsal.

The instructors then brought the group to the Sean O Casey Centre in Dublin. They blew the producers away with an extremely energetic routine of Breakin,Poppin and Lockin. The dance group  are currently working on a new routine for the final show.
