Amateur dancers from across Worcestershire and Warwickshire raised over £1,600 at for local charities.

A total of 44 dancers, ranging in age from their 30s to 70s, did so through their annual Spring Gala.

The event took place at The Norbury Theatre Droitwich on May 11.

The performers, from Helena Jane Classes & Coaching, showcased ballet, tap, and theatre dance routines, with some stepping on stage for the first time.

The gala, which attracted a wide audience, also featured guest performances, cream teas, and a charity raffle.

It supported two local charities, Sight Concern Worcestershire and Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust.

Both were chosen by the dance class members.

Organiser Helena Mitchell said: "Everyone had a fabulous day!

"The dancers performed brilliantly, the audience had a great time and we raised even more for our charities than last year.

"Thanks so much to everyone who supported the gala!"

The dancers, who attend weekly classes in various locations across Worcestershire and Warwickshire, are already planning for the same event next year.

This gala marked the second consecutive year it has been held.
