A team of talented Highland dance pupils were among the incredible acts for the most anticipated charity competition in the region.

Students from TFX Performing Arts Academy stunned the audience with their moves as they took on the dance floor in support of Strictly Inverness this year.

With dancers aged between 13 and 17, the group opened the show with Land of a Thousand Dances, and on Saturday they performed on the notes of Jennifer Lopez’s Get On The Floor.

With host Brian Elrick, they performed Relight My Fire and a medley of Elvis songs.

Head of Drama and Creative Assistant at TFX, Amy Crook: “It was phenomenal, they were absolutely brilliant.

“For quite a few of the performers it was the first time ever doing Strictly, and the older girls really looked after them – I loved seeing that. They were such a good team.

“On stage, they were fantastic, they had such good glitzy costumes and the audience loved their performance, but they were also phenomenal in the backstage. They just conducted themselves so professionally.”

This year, Strictly Inverness raised more than £320,000 for the organising charities, Highland Hospice and Inverness Ice Centre.

The performance company at TFX is a regular act in the Strictly Inverness programme.
