Derek and Arlene meet Tim Noble
Black Diamond FM’s new Saturday afternoon presenters; Derek Kelly and Arlene Davidson have this week met up with Tim Noble, more famously known as Kylie Minogue’s Choreographer and Dance captain.
Tim Noble was coaching youngsters from the Shona Halford School of Performing Arts in East Kilbride on Sat 29th March, when Black Diamond FM afternoon show presenters Derek and Arlene met up with him.
On the day
BDFM met Tim Noble at the Holiday Inn East Kilbride, where he was teaching youngsters from the Shona Halford School of Performing Arts various dance techniques.
The kids comprised of juniors right up to seniors at 18 years old. Tim told us that if kids showed raw talent they wouldn’t be segregated in a group depending on their age and that there was flexibility to move around the different age groups.
The whole day started early and comprised of 8 solid hours spent learning new types of dance movements with a break for lunch.
All the kids seemed thrilled to be taught by such a consummate professional as Tim and showed no signs of nerves with regards the production, which would be laid on for friends and family later that day.
He also said when asked about reality programmes such as X factor and pop idol formats that he believed they should be 18+ and that he didn’t see criticising people as a way to bring them on, instead he said that everyone has talent and that no any one talent was right or wrong.
