A free night-time dance event that was cancelled due to Storm Eunice is returning to Paisley streets this Sunday.
Strut is an outdoor performance and mobile project parade which has been put together by visual theatre directors MHz.
It had been due to take place last month but was cancelled due to the weather.
However it is now going ahead this Sunday, March 20 from 7pm.
Five local dancers have been recruited to perform their own personal choreographies in their own unique dance styles along the route.
They will weave through the streets giving spectators time to watch several dances and they are urged to show their appreciation by cheering, flicking their lights and waving to their neighbours.
Afterwards, there will be a special free evening community event with outdoor film screenings, arts activities, face painting and warm food for local residents at McKerrell St Playpark between from 8pm.
Once again, ROAR - Connections for Life are partnering with EVOLVE to deliver the community event and food is provided by the Ladyburn Diner.

The five dancers include Rudy Mbunzama, 33, who is fluent in hip-hop, breaking, krump, popping, locking, house, afrobeat and freestyle.

Teenager Ashton Bradley, 15, dances in a variety of different styles from commercial and jazz to lyrical and ballet. He has many connections to Seedhill as both his gran and dad used to live on Bank Street and he grew up in the local area.
Caitlin Bonnar, 17, is a contemporary dancer and trains in a variety of styles at Jennifer Scott Dance School in Paisley, while the youngest performer is 12-year-old Alannah Danielle Sutherland who has been dancing since she was four years old. She is learning six styles of dance including ballet, tap, modern, jazz, hip hop and contemporary.
Finally there’s Northern Soul enthusiast Tommy Codona, 62, who has been dancing since 1976 when he discovered that he had a natural talent.
Tommy said: “I’ve been dancing for over 40 years after discovering the vibrant nightlife in the clubs of Paisley and Glasgow.
“I’m really looking forward to taking part in Strut. It’s a chance to show off my inner exhibitionism as well as being loads of fun and will be a great event for families and the local community to attend.”
The event has been put together by visual theatre makers MHz in partnership with the EVOLVE Project, delivered by RIG Arts in partnership with Williamsburgh Housing Association, One Ren; and Feral.
MHz Directors Bex Anson and Dav Bernard said: “Fresh from the acclaimed premiere of our Strut project performed in Govanhill and Pollokshields in October 2021 as part of Tramway’s Dance International Glasgow programme, we can’t wait to present our new cast of amazing dancers connected to Seedhill and Paisley.
“This upbeat show is perfect to get the neighbourhood residents dancing in the streets in a celebration of local talent and community spirit.”
Rebecca Livesey-Wright, project coordinator, EVOLVE and RIG Arts added: “We’re so excited to be teaming up with Feral Arts, MHz and the local community to bring another amazing evening of fun to Seedhill. Our previous two fun days have been a great success so we can’t wait to celebrate Strut with more fun, games and art.”
