YOUNG performers staged a colourful production of Hairspray recently – after just three days preparation.

The performance concluded a three-day workshop run by Gill Rennie Dance Academy at St Cuthbert’s Church in Saltcoats.

Gill, who runs the academy, said: “We’ve had workshops in the Saltcoats area for a couple of years.

“We do them in the holidays to give the kids something to do.

“It was mainly our pupils from Rennie Dance Academy, but others are welcome.

“It’s amazing what they can achieve in such a short space of time.

“There was a performance for the mums and dads at the end. It was well attended.

“The kids are great. They perform under pressure, they do deliver. They had a great time.

“We get a good support from the elders in the church. They like to follow the kids, they’ve seen them grow up.

“You see them develop and grow in confidence.

“It’s a nice wee community there.”
