— EdFestMag (4 out of 5 stars)
I was probably doubly outside the target demographic for Naughties. I wasn’t a teenage girl in the noughties, indeed I wasn’t a teenager at all, but you don’t necessarily need to have spent the decade clutching a flip…
4.5 Stars There’s huge nods to the 2000’s and it’s great to reminisce, It’s high energy acrobatics, contortions and feats of strength skilfully displayed to an amazing choice of music from the era.
