YOUNG people learnt how to follow in the footsteps of one of Britain's top dance companies yesterday.

The Phoenix Dance Theatre held two workshops for students at Farringdon Community Sports College in Sunderland which were organised by the Arts Com Project.

Helen Moore, arts company project officer, said: "It is a wonderful opportunity for young people from Farringdon Community Sports College to work alongside an expert from one of the best dance groups in the country."
