Young people from a Lancaster performing arts school are off to Hollywood on a tour of a lifetime.
The students from Turning Point Theatre Arts, based at Lancaster Leisure Park, are getting ready to jet off to California to perform at iconic venues including Universal Studios, Hollywood Boulevard, The Hard Rock Cafe, Route 66 and Disneyland.
As well as their busy performance schedule, the team, under the direction of principal Gail Johnstone, will embark on a sightseeing tour of the American state and also take part in classes, industry auditions and lectures.
This is the third time the dance school has headed off to the USA.
They have also performed at Disneyland Paris on three occasions, and been cast in the opening ceremony at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
Many former pupils are also performing around the world.
"I have always strived to offer my pupils interesting and varied equal opportunities, as well as giving them an experience to remember for the rest of their lives," said Gail.
"Team spirit and a sense of fun has been at the heart of the dance school for 45 years and we have such a passionate and professional team here. We are all really excited."
