PERFORMING arts students at Priestley College are one step ahead thanks to a workshop with a renowned dance company.

Youngsters learned a few new moves when choreographer Matthew Bourne’s New Adventures group visited the Loushers Lane centre.

The college has a strong dance department as eleven of last year’s pupil proved when they scored places at some of the country’s top arts schools to further their studies.

Teenagers also have the opportunity to watch West End shows and create their own routines and perform in a range of venues while studying.
