Team BAD have a whopping 16 dances qualified to DANCE WORLD CUP Finals this year.  5 Senior Solos, 1 Junior Solo, 1 Trio and  9 Groups - Mini, Childrens, Junior and Senior.  Sadly our Minis are unable to go this year, but we DO have a  team of 21 older students joining TEAM ENGLAND to compete at DANCE WORLD CUP FINALS in Burgos Spain.  Genres including Commercial Jazz Song & Dance Ballet and Showstopper.  We are so proud of all our students hard work !  Thanks to all our teachers and workshop guests that help our children expand their world of dance and to Team England and Dance World Cup for this opportunity.  Also a huge thank you to Tony Bennett of Bennett Restaurants, owners of our local McDonalds franchises.  They are donating enough money to cover the cost of the students jackets! Our team this year will proudly be wearing the McDonalds logo on their Team England jacket sleeves. Thanks to Neil Cockburn for helping arrange this and the other work you do to get us sponsorship.
Soloists are @aidanstrachan_ @sarah.e.e.robinson @lila.sweetdance

Good Luck to all of them wherever life leads them !✨️
