Centre stage: Pixie Lott puts her moves to the test as she launches performing arts school with her sister
She found fame as an international pop star and is currently showcasing her nifty footwork skills on Strictly Come Dancing.
So it's no surprise that Pixie Lott attracted a large crowd of hopefuls keen to follow in her footsteps at the Pixie Lott Italia Conti open day in Chelmsford, Essex on Monday.
The Mama Do hit-maker and stage school alumni is launching an Italia Conti associate school along with her sister Charlie-Ann and mother Beverley in order to give youngsters the same chances she had in life.

The singer got stuck in during a dance class, showing a group of teens why she's one of the top contenders for the Glitterball trophy on this year's series of Strictly.Dressed in casual ripped jeans, white lace-up shoes and a striped off-the-shoulder top, Pixie looked like she'd stepped straight out of the cast of Fame.
Her blonde locks were tied back in a seriously voluminous low ponytail.

She posed alongside her sister Charlie-Ann during the open day, with her older sibling cutting a smart figure in a chic dress and black blazer.
Pixie's new venture is aimed at children aged three and over and is due to open at Boswells School in January 2015.
Classes will run on Saturdays and give talented kids great links to the famous London theatre school that Pixie attended.

Her mum Beverley previously told the Chelmsford Weekly News: 'This is something we’ve wanted to do since Pixie was so successful at the school. We’re very excited about it.'
Pixie is currently ranked joint second on the leader board alongside The Saturdays' Frankie Bridge, with Jake Wood and Caroline Flack tying in the top spot.
But in spite of her positive feedback, the starlet was left in tears at the end of her rumba last Saturday when nerves took over.
‘I never get nervous but for these live performances I've been a wreck,' Pixie explained to Now magazine.
‘I'm so tired and I get more hungry, so I feel I want to eat everything.'
