ARABIC dancers on Teesside have been given money from the Lottery to work with dancers from Cairo.
The Hartlepool-based Northern Arabic Dance Association was given £4,390 by Awards for All. The association works to promote Middle-Eastern music, dance and culture.
The Cairo dancers will run workshops and help stage a performance in the region.
Other awards included £5,000 to newly-formed community group Classic Crafts, also of Hartlepool, to provide a craft course; £5,000 to Making a Difference, of Hartlepool, to provide facilities to offer support to troubled teenagers; and £5,000 to Thornaby Bowls and Tennis Club to extend their clubhouse.
