A RUBERY dance group will represent England at the Global Dance Open Finals, writes Seren Mathews.
Grazia Academy of Dance earned their place after qualifying through regional competitions.
A total of 12 dancers will be competing on the world stage this week in San Sebastian, Spain.
The team will be performing 14 different routines which includes two solos, duets, trios and group performances.
The group’s members will compete against some of the best young dancers from across the world.
Grazia Academy principal, Nicola Dugmore, said: “As a dance school, we couldn’t be prouder of what these girls have achieved.
“Their dedication, commitment and countless hours of training have earned them the opportunity to wear the England flag and represent both our local community and the country at such a prestigious international event.
“It’s an experience they will never forget.”
She said the journey would not have been possible without the generosity of local sponsors, including Warren House Riding School, Howdens, Arden Estate Agents and eSmart electrics.
“We would love the opportunity to publicly thank them for helping make this dream a reality.
“Their support has helped our dancers travel to Spain and compete at the highest level, and we are incredibly grateful.”
