YOUNGSTERS from across the region will dance the night away in a charity spectacular next month.

Performers from the Tiffany School of Dance, Darlington, and Teesside High School for Girls, in Eaglescliffe, are joining forces to put on the show at Darlington Civic Theatre, called the Tiffany Dance Spectacular.

Proceeds from the night are to be split between the Butterwick Hospice and Cancer Research UK.

Dancers aged between three and 20 will take to the stage, and a women's dancing troupe will give a performance.

Dancing styles, including jazz, ballet, tap and modern, will all be on show, and there will be 27 styles of costume.

The show is now in its third year, and last year it raised almost £8,000 for the charities.

The show is on Saturday, May 7, and has a matinee and evening performance.

Tickets are priced at £12 for adults and £9.50 for concessions. For information, call (01325) 354693.
