MORE than 120 youngsters hit the stage in Southampton for a dance spectacular now in its eighth year.

The Power of Dance attracted an audience of more than 900 to the production at the Southampton Guildhall.

Choreographed by local dance star Jade Millington, the youngsters got the chance to try different dance styles ranging from tap to disco.

A spokesman for the event organisers said: "The show went really well and everyone involved had a fantastic time.

"The aim of this show is to help build up the self-esteem of our young performers and to get them to think more about keeping fit and staying healthy.

"It's also a great night out for both the performers, their relatives and friends, and anyone else interested in dance."
