SCOTLAND'S dance stars of the future are set to leave audiences All Shook Up with their latest performance.

Pupils from the Dance School of Scotland in Glasgow will stage a musical which blends Elvis with Shakespeare.

Next week's summer show at the Citizens' Theatre will feature final year students, many of whom will leave for some of the world's top drama institutions.

All Shook Up will feature Elvis Presley songs and reinterpret them with a version of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night set in the 1950s advertisement.

Among the Elvis hits in the show are Heartbreak Hotel and Jailhouse Rock.

The Dance School is incorporated in Glasgow's Knightswood Secondary School.

Head teacher Ian Muchan said: "Students have worked hard to develop their talents, honing their skills before moving on to develop future careers in musical theatre.

"The performances are an opportunity to share these talents with a wider audience. The pupils are preparing to take the industry by storm."

The Dance School of Scotland is the country's national centre of excellence for dance and musical theatre and is funded by the Scottish Government.

The show will be at the Citizens' from Wednesday (11th) to Saturday (14th). Tickets range from £8 to £12.
