SELFLESS young dancers from Portchester used their talents at a charity showcase to raise money in memory of a 10-year-old girl who died of cancer.

Students of Chloe’s Theatre Arts entertained guests with a free West End themed show on Saturday with profits from food and raffle sales going to childhood cancer awareness, via Cancer Research UK, in honour of Sophie Fairall.

Sophie, from Stubbington, died this month following the diagnosis of a rare form of tissue cancer.

The event, held at Portchester Parish Hall, also included face painting and games for all ages.

Organiser and dance teacher Chloe Green, 23, said: ‘I’m really happy to see how many people have come along today, I’m amazed at how many people are here.

‘The kids will be performing a real mix of genres with some musical theatre and street dance.

‘I was inspired to organise this after hearing Sophie’s story, I hope we can raise lots of money.’
