HUNDREDS of primary school pupils will be stepping out to celebrate 20 years of folk dancing tomorrow night.
Children from schools in the Crook area will take the floor at Willington's Spectrum Leisure Complex with traditional reels, jigs and polkas. Teachers first learned the steps from New College lecturer Ken Milburn at an in-service training session in 1980, and have been staging displays ever since.
Kate Osborne, a member of the Folk Dance Song Society, has coordinated this year's performance for St Cuthbert's RC school, Peases West school, Crook Primary school, Hartside school and the Brenda Walker School of Dance. It starts at 7pm and admission is £1, including admission to the centre.
