FOLLOW the yellow brick road as Southampton Street Beatz Dance Academy returns to the stage in Oz, a colourful adaptation of the 1939 classic.

The cast of over 100 dancers, some as young as two years old, has been rehearsing since summer 2015.

Principal Principle Jessica Groves said: “We have had so much fun working on it and have spent hours and hours on costume, set design and rehearsals.

"For many of our dancers it will be their first performance and they are all very excited.

“Our aim as a dance school is not only to put on a great show but to create an opportunity for children and parents to make lots of fond memories to cherish for many years to come.”

The show is at the Nuffield Theatre, Southampton, on April 1 and 2.
