TWO schoolgirls from Hale Barns are among those selected by The Lowry to be Northwest Youth Dance Ambassadors.

Evie Smith who attends Sale Grammar school and India Roderick who attends Altrincham Girls Grammar School will be involved in promoting and marketing dance shows at The Lowry as well as writing reviews and blogs about the shows.

The girls, both aged 11, will receive training from The Lowry and BBC and have the opportunity to work with companies such as The Birmingham Royal Ballet and Matthew Bourne.
