A dance class organised in Ballycarry Community Centre by Thomas and Rachelle McDowell closed for the summer with a handover of £406 to the local community association towards running costs.

The class, held every Friday evening, has attracted a dedicated band of enthusiasts who have enjoyed learning various dances over the past months.
