DOZENS of youngsters showed off their dancing skills to impress examiners.

Children aged four to 18 performed ballet, tap, modern jazz and freestyle when more than 70 dancing exams were taken at Lydgate Church Hall, New Mill.

The youngsters were all members of Illingworth School of Theatre Dance.

Three pupils - Emily French, 18, Rebecca Ubbi, 18, and 19-year-old Joanna O'Neill - were highly praised when they passed their intermediate ballet exams.
