Boys and girls aged under five, including those pictured above, are enjoying one of the new summertime courses on offer at Clacton Leisure Centre.

The little ones pointed their toes, practised their plie bending their knees with feet together and posed for the camera at their first of six sessions this week.

Newly-qualified teacher Stacey Pepper is taking the babies through their early steps. Stacey, 20, started dancing at the Tiffany Stage Academy in Clacton, before going to the Doreen Bird Dance College in Kent.

She is now teaching part-time at Clacton's Dance Foundation.
