WANNABE dancers are being invited to join a council-sponsored school.

The Youth Dance Academy is launching classes to be held at Holmwood School Dance Studio, Middlesbrough, this autumn, with places available at £1 per class.

It is supported by Middlesbrough Borough Council's arts development, Tees Valley Dance, Arts Council England, Northern Rock Foundation and Newcastle Building Society.

Classes will include lessons in street, jazz, contemporary, ballet and there will be an all-boys group.

For those who are serious about pursuing a career in dance, there is the opportunity to be invited to join an advanced series of classes.
