This is Grimsby --
THEY got the moves like Jagger!
Up to 170 children danced the cha-cha, quick step, jive and the waltz in the annual Essentially Dance showcase.
Primary schools, including Old Clee, Elliston, Bursar, Thrunscoe, Coomb Briggs, Great Coates, Welholme, St Joseph's and Humberston Church Of England, danced to an audience of proud parents at the Grimsby Auditorium.
In its third year in North East Lincolnshire, it was organised through the Specialist Health Promotion Service, to get children active.
Two teachers from each school were selected and trained up, and then taught their moves to pupils during PE.
Co-ordinator Laura Peggs, 31, said: "This is about getting children active in a different way, instead of football or other competitive sports. This gives them the opportunity to do real, physical exercise in a fun, enjoyable way.
"It looks absolutely fabulous, the kids are beaming."
Before pupils took to the stage, the UK's top youth dance couple, Adam Godfrey, 18, and Olivia Oates, 16, performed ballroom and latin dances.
Director of Essentially Dance, Dale Bennett, added: "Dancing means constant movement and full participation of all children."
