Halstock celebrated Christmas with an afternoon of “Choreographed Christmas Celebrations”

Nigel Cheeseman, Simon Elliott and Dan Eastment “stepped up” to be the leading men for the evening. Nigel securing first place in the Michael Jackson dance off offered extra entertainment to all who attended.
