FOUR teenage girls from Joze School of Dance in Ilkley helped brighten a pre-Christmas afternoon on Saturday for the residents, visitors and staff of three Ilkley Nursing and Residential Care Homes.

They performed a medley of dances to traditional Christmas music.

All dressed as Santa, they delighted their audiences, made more memorable because the event took place on the same day as the Strictly Come Dancing final on the BBC.

Jo Sproston, principal of the Dance School, said she was very proud of the girls. They performed the same medley of dances they showcased in The Grove in pouring rain as part of last month's lights ceremony.
