A Thetford residents' association is hosting a street dance event for young people at the weekend.

Youngsters between the ages of 5 and 16 will be able to take part in the sessions at Breckland Leisure Centre, in Croxton Road, on Sunday.

A street dance instructor will be running the event from 11am to 12.30pm for five to 11-year-olds and 1pm to 4pm for 12 to 16-year-olds. It has been organised by Croxton Road Residents' Association following funding by the Local Network Fund.

Sally Chasney, from the residents' group, said: “There is not much for young people on our side of town to do. This event will help us to find out a little more about what young people want and give us information that will help us to apply for further money.”

The earlier street dancing session will cost £2.50 and the later session £4 to help cover costs.
