ALMOST 200 dancers were practising some fancy footwork for one of their biggest shows of the year at Newcastle Playhouse this weekend.
Pupils of the Joanne Banks dance school will mark a double milestone when their show Dancing to the Rhythm goes on stage on Friday and Saturday night.
Joanne, of Spennymoor, is celebrating 15 years in business and this is her tenth season at the Playhouse.
She choreographs and directs the show, which features tap, jazz and acrobatic sequences.
Costumes for 42nd Street have been imported specially from America.
Joanne's mother Chris Banks said: "We have had a lot of success over the years. One of Joanne's first pupils, Gemma Tyers, is now dancing on a liner in the Caribbean. It shows what can be achieved."
A few tickets are left for the show, telephone (01388) 815105.
