A GROUP of young dancers are rehearsing for a show to raise £5,000 for charity.

The youngsters from The Tiffany School of Dance, in Darlington, will be performing at Darlington Civic Theatre on Saturday, April 13.

The show will include nearly 200 children performing ballet, tap and modern dances.

There will be two shows, at 2pm and 7pm, and the dancers hope to raise the money to be divided between Cancer Care UK and The Butterwick Children's Hospice.

Last year, a similar show raised £5,000 for the Breakthrough Breast Cancer charity.

Information about tickets for the show is available from the Civic Theatre box office on (01325) 486555.
