Young dancers took to the stage last night with a rave review from an expert. Children from Middlesbrough's Holmwood School and second year A-level students from Middlesbrough College performed at the Middlesbrough Theatre.

Their performance was the culmination of two years of work with professional dancers from the Tees Dance Initiative and funded by the Arts Council of England.

They and several other local youth dance groups make up the Fusion project. Pauline Mayers, team leader with Tees Dance Initiative, said: "This exciting group of young people, I believe will be the stars of tomorrow."
