In a bid to raise funds for new costumes, a Winchester dance troupe has gone topless for a calendar cover.

Preserving their modesty with strategically placed pompoms, the 18 King Alfred's College students are hoping sales of the calendar will help them take their pop dance act further afield.

Already seen at Winchester venues such as the Porthouse, the Xtreme Dance Squad performs to the strains of Destiny's Child and Britney Spears.

From commando-style combat shots, to Easter bunnies and the wild west, the calendar features the girls striking a pose for each month.

Costing £4, the calendar is on sale at the New Queen's Head pub in Stanmore Lane, Winchester, and at King Alfred's Student Union.
