Dancers big win!
A GROUP of Essex dancers brought home an amazing collection of silverware after achieving glory at a competition in Essex.
Kayzar Dance Company competed against schools from across the South East in the Essex Streetdance Championships, and walked away with 32 trophies.
Around 43 youngsters were taken to perform at the dance competition, which was held at the Civic Hall in Grays. They all took home at least one prize winning trophy in either solo, duo or group categories.
Junior dance troupe, Riots, who were recently crowned Southend’s TXT Factor streetdance champions, scooped another first place trophy in the under 12 group category. In the under 16 groups, Ninjas picked up 1st place followed closely by Remedy in 2nd place and Legacy in 3rd. K-Lic came 1st in the over 16 groups and Justice won 3rd place in the same category. Madison Hubbard, 11, came 1st in the under 12 solos while Sam Hall, 12, scooped second place in the under 14s. In the under 16 solo category, Kieran Lai, 14, picked up 1st place, while Ellen Westmore, 15, was awarded 2nd place and Will Smith, 15, came 3rd. The remaining trophies were awarded to dancers for their outstanding performances in the duo categories.
Nader Boulila, who runs Kayzar Dance Company said: “What a brilliant result! All the judges were of the highest level and our pupils were competing against schools from the whole South East area.
“We are so proud of all our pupils and teachers. They all deserve such fantastic results as they always work so hard.
