A PENISTONE dance teacher has launched a new business in her hometown and become the latest person to move into the town's gateway development.

Gemma Joel, who has been teaching for 14 years, has spent the past few weeks transforming an empty unit at Penistone 1, on St Mary's Street, into GJ Activity Village.

The mother-of-three will teach youngsters of all abilities, as well as organising children's parties, craft sessions and adult fitness classes.
