DANCERS can hone their skills during a Malvern Theatres residential summer school.

Children aged between nine and 14 can take part in a five-day programme, run as part of the Dance Artists in Residence scheme, focusing on musical theatre.

Tutors Rosie Kay and Claire Griffiths will hold the classes from 10.30am to 3.30pm, from Monday, July 28 until Friday, August 1. Dancers will have the chance to join youngsters from around the West Midlands for a grand finale show in Birmingham in September.

The course costs £40 to attend, bookings on 01684 892277.
