Dancers from Liverpool Central Studios heading to Portugal
A group of young dancers from Studio 76 Academy are celebrating after landing a place at the World Dance Challenge.
The 12-strong dance troupe, who all train at Liverpool Central Studios, will be heading to Portugal in April to compete against some of the world’s best dancers at the prestigious event.
The dancers, aged between seven and 15, secured their place at the first ever World Dance Challenge after their dance routines all scored the highest level during the qualifiers. The routines, which include solos, duos, trios and small groups, were choreographed to showcase their skill and technical abilities.
Maxine Ellis, Principal at Liverpool Central Studios aid: “This is a fantastic opportunity for our dancers to make both their city and their country proud on an international stage.
"We’re all rallying round to help raise the funds to support their mission in Portugal. They are an extremely talented bunch who all work super hard and they are very deserving of this success.”
Eight-year-old Poppy Moss from Walton is one of the dancers tipped for success at the World Dance Challenge in Portugal. The young performer, who also appeared alongside fellow Studio 76 Academy students on BBC1’s The Greatest Dancer, said: “It’s been such an exciting year already; between appearing on The Greatest Dancer and now landing a place at the World Dance Challenge. I couldn’t be happier!"
