She said: “We are looking for students with a passion for dance, they would need to audition for the college and if successful they will enjoy three years of full time training to be the best dancer. Commercial and hip-hop dancers are the ones on stage as back up dancers, so why not train in those styles five days a week.
“I want to put Luton on the map for something positive, and give young people an opportunity to get involved with something they are passionate about.
“Recently, there has been a lot of knife crime in the town, which can be associated with hip-hop music but I want to show a different side to the music and the dance moves.”
