Dance development company Tin Productions, which is setting up youth dance groups in County Durham, has established itself in Newton Aycliffe.

Sessions, for 11 to 25-year-olds will be held at Woodham Community Technology College every Wednesday, from 4.30pm to 6pm.

Selina McGonagle, dance development manager at Tin Productions, said: "We are creating performance pieces which will tour around the region from March of next year. We want to encourage young people to take part. They don't need any dance experience."

The company has been established in County Durham for four years and has run previous projects with pupils at Woodham and Greenfield schools in Newton Aycliffe.

Those who attend could take part in performances at the Gala Theatre, Durham.
