Will Cilla Black Back Bolton Dancers?
10:12am Friday 18th April 2008
Bolton, Lancashire, 18th April 2008 - Melody Pop Dancers Selected As Finalists For Dance Contest Judged By Cilla Black This Month In London When Melissa Finbarr-Smith's husband, Tony recorded her Jazz dance class performing the Lambrini dance, they never expected to be finalists in a competition judged by North-Western Legend Cilla Black!
The short video, recorded at Melody Pop Tuition on St George's Road, Bolton, shows some of the Melody Pop Dancers as they 'Do The Lambrini'; the energetic dance featured in the television adverts of the alcoholic drink. "Mel's classes are all very fun, and we uploaded it for a laugh, to be honest" Tony explains, "and we never expected something like this to happen - we didn't even know there was a competition!" "The first thing I heard about being in the final was an e-mail from Lambrini" he enthuses "the e-mail explained that Melissa and three friends were in the running for an all-expenses paid trip to London, including a professional Make-up session, New Clothes, a meal in a posh London restaurant and £500 spending money! I think Mel is most looking forward to the dance session with the choreographer and dancers from the advert, and of course, the overnight stay in a posh hotel!."
A DVD of the dance has been sent to Celebrity Judge Cilla Black, who will be studying the finalists' moves and will make a decision before the end of April.
The winners of the competition will record a new dance video in the Lambrini Film Studio, which will be featured on the Lambrini web site.
Melody Pop's entry video is currently featured on www.DoTheLambrini.co.uk web site, and is the highest-rated video of all the worldwide uploads to the site.
