YOUNGSTERS dreaming of their name in lights now have a Southampton performing arts training centre dedicated to getting them there.

Called the Trinity Studio and based in the Bargate Shopping Centre, it aims to offer dance lessons, voice coaching and a photographic studio.

It's the brainchild of 26-year-old Lucy Carson, pictured, the daughter of former Radio Victory DJ and well known Southampton figure Dave Carson.

Professional teachers with industry experience have been hired and she aims to have students go on to the world's top stages.

Lucy, a former dancer, said: "There's nothing else like this on the south coast, the nearest alternative is London, so it's something missing in the south.

"It's somewhere people can train, people who want to go out there and get into the big time. Then we've got baby ballet and something for all ages.

"But there is the opportunity to train people to go into the West End and Broadway."
