A DANCE company celebrated its fifth anniversary in spectacular style last week.

Melody Dance Company brought its show Time Flies to Hereford's Courtyard for an evening of moving, uplifting and hugely enjoyable routines.

Choreographed by the company's founder, Laura Honeyborne, the show featured a range of dance styles, comprising both modern, contemporary tracks with classics.

A highlight was the young dancers' routine to Heigh Ho! from Snow White, which was complete with the traditional costumes from the popular Disney movie.

I didn't expect to find myself even close to tears but seeing how much the show meant to every single person in the theatre - not just the young dancers but their incredibly proud parents too - would've melted even the coldest of hearts.

Thank you to all members of a very talented group of young dancers who showed us that you don't have to search too hard to see that there are some really positive things happening around the county.

And a very happy birthday!
