A Sutton ballroom has highlighted its role in a unique entertainment festival in the town.

The Regency Ballroom was part of Light Night Ashfield as giant knitting needles, glow in the dark doodling and ballroom dancing came together.

The ballroom on the Market Place, Sutton, was transformed into an exciting colourful haven for the Neon Ballroom Event as part of Light Night Ashfield.

Dancers of all ages and experience levels took to the floor, in a wide variety of costumes, ranging from captivating fluorescent outfits to delicate fairy light dresses to provide a full evening of performances.

Light Night Ashfield, an initiative organised by First Arts , provided opportunities for people of all ages to get involved with the arts. It organised a highly successful event that attracted more than 400 visitors to the ballroom venue alone, with the event seeing thousands of visitors over the two days.

Students from Leamington Primary Academy worked over five weeks to learn a show-stopping dance routine taught by Kim and Andrew Dunn, directors and teachers of The Regency Dance Centre. Full of confidence and energy, the children lit up the ballroom and delighted the audience with their vibrant performance.

The Neon Ballroom Event also included dance tuition, led by Regency instructor Paula Hyde, who taught everyone a fun filled Cha Cha Cha routine.

Emma Hayes, who teaches Barre Fitness at the venue, led an energetic neon dance aerobics session.
