Sydney dance teacher to stand trial

A Sydney dance teacher accused of child pornography and sex abuse offences will stand trial in February.

Grant Davies was charged in May with a string of child sex and pornography offences and has been in custody ever since.

The charges relate to students at the dance studio who were aged between nine and 14 at the time of the alleged offences.

Davies did not apply for bail at Burwood Local Court on Monday and waived his right to a committal hearing.

His trial will begin on February 27.
