Hundreds of schoolchildren showed off their moves when they took part in this year's Barnet Dance Festival.

A total of 1,500 pupils from 70 schools took it in turn to take their place in the spotlight at the artsdepot in Nether Street, North Finchley.

From reception class pupils to sixth form students, the dancers performed in a variety of styles including contemporary, ballet, musical theatre, traditional and jazz.

Festival director Anne Fisher said: “The quality of dance performance continues to improve demonstrating the outstanding work achieved by teachers and young people in Barnet schools.”
