Carla Porter, principal of Premier dance academy, said: “This is such a fantastic achievement and I couldn’t be any prouder.

“We have worked so hard for this.”

More than 30 of Premier’s students aged between three and 21 attended the ‘Dancer of Dancer’ freestyle championship, where dancers must demonstrate their skills in freestyle, street/hip hop and lyrical dance.

“A lot of hours an hard work went into this and I am very proud.”
