THREE rural communities are set to enjoy a visit from a leading Canadian dance group as part of a pioneering arts initiative.

Motus O, which brings together an American gymnast, an Australian sheep shearer and a Canadian figure skater, have produced a highly physical and humorous show which looks at various aspects of love.

They open with a performance tonight at Earby Community Centre, tomorrow they are at the Church Hall in Sabden and then on Sunday they will be at the community centre at Mellor Brook.

The tour is being supported by Spot On Lancashire - a rural touring network which aims to bring professional arts events to rural communities.

All three shows start at 7.30pm.
