The UK's top street dance act is to strut its stuff for a second time at Chapel-en-le-Frith Leisure Centre.
The award-winning Trinity Warriors will be doing their thing from 2pm to 5pm on Saturday 15 August to promote a Chapel Street Dance initiative to get youngsters on their feet. The session will be a repeat performance from the UK B-Boy Champions, who drew more than a dozen youngsters to the leisure centre on Saturday 11 July.
Funded by High Peak Borough Council and Derbyshire County Council, the two taster sessions herald weekly classes to be staged by the two authorities at the leisure centre from September or October.
The classes will teach hip-hop and break dance to beginners, intermediate and advanced dancers.
Lessons for individuals and small groups will be on offer, together with larger group lessons for young people aged eight to 16.
Said Borough Councillor Andrew Bingham, Executive Councillor for Social and Community Development: "I'm pleased that we had a good turnout for the first taster session with the amazing Trinity Warriors. Street dance is a great way for young people to keep fit, and I'm sure that the weekly classes will be well attended this autumn".
Taster sessions and lessons aside, council sports development officers will be visiting primary schools to promote the scheme and will also be dropping in to secondary schools to publicise a new street dance GCSE that it is hoped students will sign up for.
