YOUNG drama students have been dancing in the streets during a theatre workshop.

Members of the newly titled Jackass Theatre Group, run by Jack Drum Arts, have been learning street dancing with Davie Rae, from Dance City in Newcastle.

The youth theatre, which meets at Parkside Comprehensive School, Willington, every week, recently had success through one of its members, Chris Ather, from Crook.

Chris, 17, appears in the current Coca-Cola advertisement which shows a young boy going to his first Newcastle United football match. In the advertisement Chris briefly appears changing a car tyre with the help of his family.
