Wednesday 12 June - Ashley dishes up some fun for youngsters at Hartburn Primary School

Awestruck pupils were served their lunch by  Ashley Banjo when he filmed at Hartburn Primary in Stockton recently as part of his new Sky 1 show.

As well as helping out the school's dinner ladies the dancer who found fame with Diversity,  also taught youngsters a short dance routine and gave autographs.

“Big Town Dance” will focus on Stockton workers ranging from shop assistants and market traders to teachers and librarians who will be taught routines which are linked together to create a public dance performance on the town’s high street on Sunday, July 14, from 11am to 6pm.

Well it seems to be that the Teesside store has became host to a new celebrity regular!

With Ashley Banjo's up and coming dance project set to get local area Stockton-on-Tees dancing again, it seems he likes to wine and dine here at our fantastic restaurant.

Not one, not two but three trips from the Diversity group!!!

Pictured here, Rhiannon (Host and superfan), Warren, Ashley (Diversity), Anna (SA) and Nathan (me and fellow dancer).

Ashley Banjo on Stockton High St.  28 May 2013

Ashley Banjo is coming to Stockton-on-Tees this summer for a brand new
Sky 1 HD show that will get the whole town dancing. JULY 14 2013
Picture
He met local gran of 39 Mary White, who said: “He’s a really nice person and I think Stockton folk will help him and loads of people will turn up.”
And he showed asylum seeker Edith Halle, 30, of Stockton, some dance moves.
She said: “Stockton’s quieter than London, but he’ll do it!”

Stockton has a proud dance heritage going back to the war and until the 1960s, had three dance halls. But in the 1970s, they began to close.
Now Ashley plans to change all that. He hopes to bring together people who have never met - shop assistants, market traders, teachers and care workers, Ashley will choreograph a series of individual street dance routines.

For one day, Stockton’s High Street will be transformed into an open air venue.

Ashley will lead a street-dance event which will be broadcast on Sky 1 later this year as Ashley Banjo: The Town That Danced Again.
Sky head Michele Kurland said: “Ashley’s hugely talented and his passion and commitment to street dance will convince the whole of Stockton to dance.”
