ALL SMILES: These smiling children, pupils at a Bolton dancing school, had just taken part in their first Irish Step Dance contest in 1979 - and won!

The competition, between the newly-formed John Morgan Academy and a Manchester dancing school, was held in St Dominic's Youth Club. The Bolton children swept home with 58 of the 93 winners' medals. About 60 children attended the twice weekly classes.
