great opportunity for local people to dance on a professional stage and share

Daniel
added: “It doesn’t matter if it is two kids who have got together and want to
do a bit of breakdance, or if it is a dance school. Step Up and Dance 2018 is
about showing off what North and South Tyneside has to
offer in dance.”
