Hide AdMichelle Randle, former manager of Maple Leaf put out the request on the closed Facebook group for videos of all the children’s best dance moves, and the clips soon came flooding in.
Her son Adam edited them all together to Whitney Houston’s ‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody’ and the reponse from the community was overwhelmingly positive.
Michelle said: “The children certainly did a great job of boosting morale during these stressful times.
“This has really lifted everyone’s spirits during this difficult time. It has also allowed the children to see their friends. A group of us are posting daily on a closed Facebook group giving children small tasks, sending messages. Parents can then send in videos and photos of the children. The community are thrilled to have something to keep the children occupied.
