Young dancers make a splash at Coliseum

YOUTH, sport and dance came together at the Oldham Coliseum as the Festival of Diversity heads to the end of its first week.

The Fairbottom Street stage was packed for the Oldham Dance Platform, a ground-breaking initiative led by Oldham Sports Development, bringing communities and schools together through dance.

And in the evening, Oldham Dance Splash was a glittering showcase to celebrate young people and their dancing talents.

The Dance Platform was choreographed by Danny Price, dance specialist with Oldham Sports Development.

The diversity festival continues for another four weeks.
