A SERIES of youth dance events will be held across East Yorkshire in coming weeks.

East Riding Youth Dance is recruiting new dancers to join their community dance programme and the East Riding Youth Dance County Company.

The community dance programme is for young people from Year 5 upwards, and will feature a range of dance styles from contemporary to urban dance.

The classes will take place from the week commencing February 27, and will lead up to the creation of an original piece of dance which will be performed at the biggest Youth Dance Platform in the area on Sunday, June 11, at Bridlington Spa.

The events will take place at various places across the area including Memorial Hall, Beverley, Bridlington Spa and Hornsea Community Primary School on Tuesdays, at Woldgate College in Pocklington on Fridays, and Trinity Church, Goole, on Saturdays.
