Residents at ROCCS residential homes for adults with learning disabilities and their friends, loved watching dancers at Hip Hop Pop perform in a dance video to Lady Leshurr's #QuarantineSpeech so much, that they wanted to have a go themselves! Thanks to care worker Mitch Presland and his family, they made this happen to Quaranting by Lady Leshurr!
The video dropped at 12pm on Tuesday 19th May, scroll down to the end of this blog to see it!
Mitch got in touch with Director Jenny here at Hip Hop Pop, and asked her to create the story board, instruction vids and edit the clips together to produce the final video. Here's some screen shots of the story board and instruction videos Jen sent to Mitch.
The residents were straight on it, and delivered all the clips within 24 hours to Jen! They enjoyed themselves immensely, and we think they absolutely smashed it! They look so cool (see video at the bottom)! Big thanks to all the residents and friends who took part. Some of the care workers and volunteers who helped the performers with their parts were: Mason Presland, Mitch Presland, Nicola Hopkins, Maria Walker and Louise Friend. Mitch and Mason also star in the video. 50 videos were made in total

Giving the residents a fun day dancing, fills my heart with joy. Our senior crew need to watch their backs ROCCS residents and friends are hot on their heels!"
