KEEN young dancers are being urged to join the fun and get involved in an event being organised by youth charity Young Gloucestershire and the county's Youth and Community Service.

Dance 2000 is open to anyone aged between eight and 18 who can take part either as a pair or as part of a team and it is a chance to have fun, learn some new steps and enjoy getting on to the dance floor in front of an audience.

The aim is to make it a real festival of dance with all styles and abilities on show.

The day-long event will take place at the Chequers Bridge Youth Arts Centre in Gloucester on December 3. For details or to book a place ring 01452 520048.
