Recently, 12 gifted and talented performers from Unity Academy were given the opportunity to work with the professional dance group, ZooNationUK. During workshops students were able to learn new skills in hip-hop and dance theatre.

After several intense practice sessions, pupils then took to the stage at the Grand Theatre and performed to a packed live audience.

Following the performance, the students were able to meet and greet the cast and fellow professionals to receive some tips and advice on how to become a performer. All the students involved were awarded the discover arts award.

Into the Hoods:Remixed is currently touring across the UK and is the newly revamped version of the award-winning production that first stormed London's West End in 2008.
