This is an incredible achievement for these talented young people, but getting them to the Worlds is a big challenge. We need to raise £15,000 to cover travel and competition costs, and we’re working hard between now and April to make it happen.
"Seeing the dancers’ hard work and perseverance rewarded at such a prestigious event has been the best possible end to our year,” said teacher Julie Herlihy.
“We are so proud of the commitment, efforts and team-work shown by every dancer, not forgetting the community and team-spirit shown by their family and friends - it means everything to us.
“In 2026 we hope to build on these recent successes and support our exceptional world qualifiers in their journey to Chicago.”

- Donations to help us reach our fundraising goal.
- Raffle contributions—prizes from local businesses would make a huge difference and help us run successful fundraising events.
Thank you for considering this—we’d love to work together to celebrate local talent and community spirit!
