THE show must go on for two dancers forced to change rehearsal rooms.

Shrugging off chaotic preparations, the two dancers from the Robson School of Traditional Irish Dancing have been selected to take part in the Grand Fireworks Concert at Tees Barrage on Sunday.

The pair will open the show in style with a rendition of Riverdance.

A spokeswoman for the group said: "We are moving from our current rehear- sal rooms at St Patrick's Church Hall, Canon Park, Middlesbrough, due to its demolition.

"From September 3 we will be rehearsing at Sacred Hart Church Hall, in Linthorpe Road.

"We now have an opportunity to perform with the professional British Waterways Wind Orchestra.

"It's a chance of lifetime and the girls are really looking forward to showing off their skills."

The concert, which will have a children's theme, will finish with a spectacular fireworks display set to the theme of Jurassic Park.

In aid of Butterwick Hospice, the concert starts at 7.30pm and the gates open at 6pm.
