It follows a variety of performances by Stagecoach schools throughout the year, as many students missed out on performing live in 2020.

The showcase provides the students with a chance to come together and display their talents overseas.

Disneyland Paris, which has been open since 1992, has been home to theme parks, entertainment and nature parks - all dedicated to world-renowned Disney characters such as Cinderella, Aladdin, Toy Story and many others.

Bearsted school's principal Amber-Rose May said there had been weeks of preparation for the routine which took place between July 21 and 24.

In total, nearly 500 youngsters danced in the parade.
