Congratulations to Millicent in Year 7 and Summer in Year 8 who have returned from the Dance World Championships with gold medals!

The competition - the largest dance competition in the world - was held this year in Prague and ran over 8 days of performances and our students, who dance with Jelli Studios, took gold in the 'Showdance' category with a performance of 'Hocus Pocus' with impressive second places in the Acro and Commercial categories with performances titled 'Fairy Tales' and 'Gotham'.

We caught up with Millicent who explained that the selection process involved sending video performances to the selection panel who make a choice from troupes across the country to wear the England uniform. Although only in Year 7, she has a lot of experience, starting dancing with Bluebell Studios at the age of 3!

To those looking to follow her success she offered the following advice: "Don't give up! Put your mind to it and you can do it."

Congratulations to both of our talented dancers on this hugely exciting achievement!
