Young dancers from the Lynden School of Dance delivered a memorable performance at the Basingstoke Variety Show.

The event, held at The Anvil on Saturday, October 5, raised funds for the Mayor's Charity Appeal.

The children displayed their passion for dance, from upbeat routines set to Do You Love Me to a sophisticated jazz number to Houdini.

A Scottish-themed routine was also a crowd favourite, showcasing traditional dance.

The young performers showed resilience throughout the day, even when faced with unexpected challenges.

The children’s ability to stay calm under pressure reflects the personal growth and resilience they’re developing through such experiences.

The Basingstoke Variety Show was not just a night of entertainment but also an event supporting the Mayor's Charity Appeal.

Lynden’s dancers contributed to this cause, demonstrating how the arts can unite and uplift a community.

A school spokesperson said: "Their success on stage was a powerful reminder of how children’s dance classes can build resilience, confidence, and a sense of community."
