A SUMMER holiday dance workshop for children is to be staged in Chippenham in August.

Run by Dancers of Chippenham, it will offer tuition in a range of social and party dances, with lots of games and competitions.

"Dancing is great exercise for kids and a fun social activity," said a Dancers spokesman.

"It improves their co-ordination, balance and spatial awareness, things that are important in all other sports.

"So keen footballers and rugby players will be especially welcome. The classes are aimed at boys and girls and will be relaxed and enjoyable."

The classes run from August 18 to August 22, from 10am to 12.30pm each day, and cost £5 a session or £20 for the week.

For further information contact Dancers of Chippenham at Unit 3 Cricketts Lane Industrial Park on (01249) 661131.

Dancers of Chippenham is also holding a Salsa and Latin American dance night on July 25, from 7.30pm.

Anyone who wants to try out salsa, jive, cha cha, samba or tango is welcome to join the session.

Admission is £4 and new customers will need to pay a registration fee.
