MORE than 30 surviving members of a former York dance school swapped stories about their favourite shows and snazziest costumes at a special reunion.

Dancers from the Three Graces school, which was run in Clifford Street between the 1920s and 1950s, met at the Holgate Hill Hotel on Sunday.

Oldest member Doris Wadeson, 94, one of the original Three Graces, turned up along with the youngest, Christine Hunt, 63.

Doris' sister Clarice, who performed musical comedy in venues across Britain, died earlier this year.

Co-organiser Sheila Hind said: "Everyone brings along old photos and memorabilia to go through.

"It's really nice to get together."

Former member Judy Ruddy started the reunion three years ago.
