Dance group Flava to search for Paignton street dancers

Britain’s Got Talent Act Flava will be judging the street dance talents of people in the Bay as part of My Festival 2010, held at Torbay Leisure Centre.

The free event on Saturday, September 18, My Festival 2010 will showcase activities for young people in the Bay, including various sports and modern dance. There will also be exhibitors offering activities for everyone from toddlers to adults.

As part of the event Torbay Council's Youth Service and a young volunteer have organised a Street Dance competition for young people aged 11 to 19. 

There is a limited number of spaces for competitors and they will be allocated on a first come first serve basis.

Chair of My Festival 2010, Cllr Cindy Stocks, said: "I am delighted we were able to secure Flava to judge the competition. They will give advice to the competitors and perform at the end of the event.

"This is a real opportunity for young people, who put a lot of time and effort into practising their talent, to perform in front of a professional, nationally recognised group as well as their friends and relatives.

"Those young people who enjoy activities other than street dancing will find information and hands-on opportunities from a variety of providers at the Festival - there’s something for everyone.”
