MORE THAN 300 dance school pupils took to the stage across two sell out shows, performing to a total of 1,400.

The annual Starz Ballet show at Ferneham Hall in Fareham raised £700 for the Head Smart charity as one of the girls within the dance school is suffering from a brain tumour.

Starz Ballet is for children aged six months to seven years old with more than 30 locations across Hampshire including Southampton, Bitterne, Chandler’s Ford, Winchester, Romsey, Lee-on-the-Solent, Locks Heath, Stubbington, Sarisbury Green, Fareham, Gosport and Whiteley.
