CHILDREN have been stomping up a storm as they tackled an A-level dance workshop in primary school.
Pupils from Marchbank Free School, off Barnes Road, Darlington, took part in a Stomp-style workshop run by a former member of the celebrated dance troupe.
Classically-trained ballet dancer Peter Francis was a member of Stomp for three years before launching Nebula Artistic, which runs dance workshops nationally.
Pupils were shown a variety of moves and asked to come up with their own routines, which they performed to the class.
Mr Francis said: “It is a difficult workshop that is designed to challenge the young people. It allows them to create their own routines without being overwhelmed. It is a massive achievement and you see them go from zero to nine out of ten.
“This is A-level standard work and they all did incredibly well, with 100 per cent involvement, having given a wealth of input in a short space of time.”
