CANVEY schoolchildren inspired by a popular television dancing programme were able to try out a few moves for themselves, thanks to a new after-school club.

Ballroom dancing classes have been organised for youngsters at Year 4 and above at St Katherine's Church of England School.

The after-school classes were organised following the huge success of the popular BBC television programme, Strictly Come Dancing, and have been partly funded by the Extended Schools Initiative.
