The group, who are from Utah Valley University, are in the resort to take part in the Blackpool Dance Festival at the Winter Gardens, which runs until Friday.

Paul Winkelman, director, said: “We are staying in a hotel while we’re here and don’t have access to a studio, so I went on an inspirational walk along the Promenade – and found this area!

“Blackpool is delightful.”
