Children from Needham Market's Fox Academy of Dance astounded their audience with two captivating summer productions.

Nearly 200 dancers, aged between three and 18, took to the stage at the Seckford Theatre in Woodbridge, showcasing more than 35 routines and raising an impressive £440 for St Nicholas Hospice Care in memory of 'dance dad' Paul Roughley.

Heidi Fox, principal and director of Fox Academy of Dance, said: "We are immensely proud of the dedication and enthusiasm our students showed in our Summer Productions.

"Raising funds for St Nicholas Hospice is a cause close to our hearts, and we are delighted to have made a significant contribution."
