A DANCE school is hoping to raise £5,000 for charity with a show at the Civic Theatre, Darlington, in April.

Pupils at The Tiffany School of Dance are busy rehearsing for the show on Saturday April 13.

The show will include almost 200 children performing ballet, tap and modern dancing.

There will be two shows on the day, at 2pm and 7pm. It is hoped to raise £5,000 to be split between Cancer Care UK and The Butterwick Children's Hospice.

Last year, a similar show raised £5,000 for the Breakthrough Breast Cancer charity. Ticket details are available from the Civic Theatre on (01325) 486555.
