Plymouth's Street Factory is back in action, giving youngsters in the city the chance to learn breakdancing and other skills.

The project was run for six months in 2006 by choreographer and tutor Toby Gorniak and his wife, Jo.

But it ended in December 2006, when they could no longer use the Barbican Theatre as a venue.

However, Toby and Jo have now started Street Factory up again and have received new funding from the Local Network Fund.

The sessions take place 1pm-3pm each Saturday afternoon at Mount Gould Methodist Churchhall  in Mount Gould Road.

Toby said: "We're getting around 30 people in, aged five to 25. It's going well.

"We do breakdancing, street dancing, drama and singing. But it's more than that.

"It's about kids getting to meet young people from other cultures and backgrounds, and we also teach them about respect."

Street Factory youngsters get to show off their skills at events such as the Plymouth Respect Festival.
