Ever imagined yourself as the next John Travolta?

A new series of dance classes in Malvern could give you the chance to shine on the dance floor.

Experts from dance company Dance at 8 will put would-be dance floor divas through their paces during a six-week programme of American jive and swing sessions.

The classes will be held every Thursday from 7.30pm to 8.30pm at Holy Trinity Church hall, Malvern Link, from October 14.

Owner of Dance at 8, Barbara Pritchard said: "The success of television's Strictly Come Dancing has brought dance to the forefront again.

"The classes give people a chance to get out, socialise and exercise while having lots of fun."

She added that the sessions were for absolute beginners and great for all ages.

Children also have the chance to learn to dance like their favourite pop star at classes for five-15-year-olds.

The classes take place at Holy Trinity hall on Thursdays from 6.30-7.30pm.

Dance at 8 was set up six years ago by Mrs Pritchard and husband Paul, a professional ballroom and exhibition dancer. They now run a number of dance classes around the Midlands and have an enthusiastic following.

"We strive to offer something new and different, and most of all, we want to have fun," said Mrs Pritchard.

Classes cost £3.50 per session and booking is not necessary.
