Young dancers to meet the stars
YOUNG Torrington dancers are to rub shoulders with the stars after success in a regional schools competition.
Torrington Streetz Dance Crew have been named as the third best hip hop dance group in the South West!
The pupils of Great Torrington Community School competed against 14 other schools from all over the region at Plymouth’s Oceanna nightclub.
The school’s 16 strong ‘elite’ crew will now travel to the national finals in Stoke-On-Trent on November 21, where they will compete and also meet Ashley Banjo of Diversity, Kimberley Wyatt of Pussycat Dolls, Britain’s Got Talent winner and Step Up Movie star George Sampson and top British rapper Chipmunk.
Streetz Dance Crew owner and choreographer Amy Avery said: “It was a great day and the guys did fantastically well, I am very proud of them. They have practised relentlessly for the past four weeks and it’s really paid off. They are all extremely excited about going up to Stoke-on-Trent and rubbing shoulders with the stars. They deserve it.”
