X Factor guests help Guiseley dancers raise charity cash
A group of dancers from the West Yorkshire School of Performing Arts in Guiseley (WYSPA) recruited talented former pupil Laura Henderson to help them raise charity funds.
The dancers raised more than 1,500 after two performances at Kirklands Community Centre in Menston with special guests Project A, who reached the top 24 in this year's X Factor television talent-search show.
The all-girl singing group from Leeds, who made it to judges' houses, was formed by Amy Burrow, Lauren Green, Laura Henderson and Lucy Graham.
The girls originally met cheerleading and dancing for Leeds Rhinos and realised they all had the same passion to perform and sing.
Laura Henderson is a former pupil of WYSPA and her sister Jodie Chadwick, 14, of Guiseley, dances and sings at WYSPA and also took part in the charity show.
Dances were choreographed by Frankie Johnston and rehearsed for six months.
Karen Fawcett, principal of the school, said: "It is heart warming to see young people with such determination, the girls practically live at the dance school, and put their heart and soul into the show with all profits going to Marie Curie Cancer Care.
"They are all now working towards our own WYSPA show that will be performed early next year."
