Dance professional, Mark Farrugia, used to drive a security van round delivering money to banks and building societies.

Now the Maltese-born dancer is driving people crazy on the dance floor – teaching them some of his fancy footwork as well as helping them to get fit.

For the fun-loving professional dancer, who has danced at competition level at the likes of the Blackpool Ballroom, is passing on some of his skills to others.

Mark has launched "Strictly Latin Dance Fit/Fit steps" classes all over the county including Birches Head and Newcastle-under-Lyme.

He says the popularity of Strictly Come Dancing, which prompted him to start his classes, has also started a dance craze among others.

"I've certainly got more students coming along as a result of the show," said Mark.

"It's such a popular show and everyone love watching it including me."

But it's not just learning a few steps from sultry dances like the Rumba, Cha Cha or the Samba which students are loving – it's also the fact that they are keeping fit.

There is a class every Tuesday 7pm-7.45pm at Blythe Centre, Birches Head, and classes on Monday evenings and Friday mornings at M-Club Trent Vale.

Classes cost £5 per person and can be booked direct by phoning 07500 588597.
