TALENTED dancers were given the chance to shine at an awards ceremony marking their achievements.

Members of the Valley School of Dancing put on a show at the Woollard Centre, in Loughton Way, Buckhurst Hill, to mark the completion of their exams.

Performances ranged from freestyle to tap, and modern, before awards and medals were handed out by Valley School principal Marion Sanders.

She said: “Everyone's worked really hard and they're hard work has paid off so it was nice to show their parents and friends what they were working towards.”

Valley School of Dancing meet every week at St Stephens Church, Buckhurst Hill, for ages four to adults. For more information contact Marion Sanders on 020 8508 7349.
