A GROUP of top performers has been giving Hampshire schoolchildren a masterclass in modern dance.

Internationally acclaimed dance company Candoco held a workshop for year eight and nine pupils from Quilley School at The Point, Eastleigh.

The award-winning group is made up of disabled and non-disabled performers and attended as part of the Point Ed programme that gives children the chance to work with professional artists.

The skills learnt in the workshop were then performed in front of an audience on the theatre’s open-air garden stage.
