HUNDREDS of dancers in Darlington are dusting off their tap and ballet shoes for a series of performances.

Members of Pierremont School of Dance will take part in seven performances at Polam Hall School from April 11 to 20.

The shows are being held at the school following the closure of Darlington Arts Centre last year.

Rehearsals for the shows took place at the school on Saturday (April 6).

Proceeds from the shows will be donated to the British Heart Foundation, a cause important to members of the dance school.

The performances will feature dancers of all ages, from two upwards.

Tickets for the shows cost £6, available at the door. For more information, follow @psofdance on Twitter.
