CANCAN dancers, from left, Eloise Ireland, Kate Nellist, Laura Kettles, Charlotte Hoque, Ashley Bell and Faye Miller, all pupils of the Isobel Dunn dance school in York, perform at Warner Brothers Village cinema for last night's opening of the hit new film Moulin Rouge.

The girls, aged between 15 and 19, performed the cancan and other songs from the film in the traditional costume of long colourful skirts and petticoats.

Choreographer and organiser Gabriella Stabler, 23, got involved through her father who is a projectionist at the cinema.
