FOUNDED by award winning dancer and choreographer Maggie Gallagher, Coventry's Celtica Academy recently returned to the city's Belgrade Theatre for its bi-annual dance performance.
With over 70 dancers taking part, with ages ranging from four to 50 years old, the energetic show has become a cherished part of Coventry's cultural scene.
It has grown from performances held at the Butts Theatre to now two sold out shows at the Belgrade.
