YOUNG people will be showcasing their talents at an evening of dance.

Pupils from primary and secondary schools across Lewisham borough will perform a mix of dance styles at The Broadway Theatre, Catford, from 7pm tonight.

Performances will range from contemporary dance and hip hop to ballroom and classical Indian dance.

The Lewisham Dance Showcase is an annual event run by the Deptford-based dance centre Laban.

Although Laban manages the event, the content of the performances is down to the schools.

Laban projects co-ordinator Louise Jardine said: "There's huge diversity in the performances and the focus is on young people dancing and celebrating with their peers."

Tickets are £6.50, or £4.50 for concessions, and are available from The Broadway Theatre box office on 020 8690 0002.
