Once more a big part of the Whitehaven Carnival was the large number of dancers from the various dance schools in Whitehaven.
They all took part in the procession stopping often to perform their dance routines.In striking black and purple were the kids form Pop Steps Dance School.
Also in the parade were the dancers from Starkey's' dance school in their bright coloured Fame outfits.
Cowper's Dance School had a large number of students in the parade.
Starkey's Juniors must be given special mention for performing with their pom-poms throughout the parade and adding lots of strong colour to the show.
The dancers not only performed in the procession but also in the park before and after the carnival parade. Here we can see examples of line dancing from the Dance Ranch.
