A DANCE show in memory of tragic youngster Abigail Guy, who died in a farmyard accident, will be staged in Burnley this weekend.

The show, Dance, Dance, Dance, will be performed at Burnley Mechanics Theatre by young members of Sanderson Dance Studio, Brierfield.

Raffle tickets sold during the performances will raise money towards a permanent memorial to Abigail, known as Abi, at the studio.

Five-year-old Abi, of Foulridge, near Colne, was a pupil at the dance school and was due to perform in the show.

She was killed by a tractor and slurry unit on her father's farm in Colne last month.

Her parents, Graham and Jo Guy, decided the show must go on in their daughter's memory.

The dancers, aged between two-and-a-half and 18 years, will take to the stage today with a matinee performance at 2pm and an evening show at 7pm.

The show takes in a variety of dance styles including tap, ballet, jazz and cabaret.

It is the culmination of months of hard work by the dance studio's head of department, Lyn Maden, and her assistant Amanda Swinton.

Proceeds from the entrance ticket sales will go to Hospice Care for Burnley and Pendle.
