Kieran wins European gold

A young streetdancer busted his moves to represent England at a European competition and won first place.

Kieran Lai, 15, picked up the medal for Junior Electric Boogie solo at the European Hip Hop championships, held in Denmark at the weekend.

He competed against dozens of other dancers for the title with a one-minute routine he choreographed himself.

About 150 dancers from England took part in the Europe-wide competition, which attracted almost 5,000 dancers.

Kieran, who dances with Kayzar in Basildon, Essex, has worked hard to improve his technique in order to win the competition in which he came second last year.

He said: “It was a tough competition but I really enjoyed it. I practise a lot during the week so I'm pleased all the practising has paid off."

“I feel happy when I'm dancing. The whole experience was amazing”

Kieran's dance teacher, Nader Boulila, said "I am really proud of Kieran. He is a brilliant, talented dancer and I'm sure he will continue to go far."

"He has a unique approach which sets him apart from other dancers."

"Kieran worked hard and gave the competition everything he had so I'm really pleased he did so well"

 He added "At Kayzar we specialise in Streetdance. It is a very popular dance style. I  think that's because Streetdance is really accessible. People can just come in from the street and dance. It's so versatile and fun."

Kayzar has dance schools in Basildon, Wickford, Southend and Brentwood for people of all ages and abilities.

Kieran to represent the UK at World Championships

Our talented dancer Kieran is to represent the UK at the IDO European and World Hip Hop Championships in Denmark and Austria later this year.

He impressed judges after competing at the All England Streetdance Championships at the prestigious O2 arena. His polished routine saw him beat 35 dancers to the top spot in the Hip Hop category and 2nd place in the Electric Boogie category. His winning positions mean that he has automatically qualified to represent the UK in the forthcoming championships.

Kieran trains at Kayzar's Rhythm and Funk Studios in Basildon town centre. School principal, Nader Boulila, said "This is a well-deserved and fantastic opportunity for Kieran. He is a dedicated and determined dancer and I am so glad that all his hard work has been rewarded and his amazing talent recognised. We are all very proud of him and wish him the very best of luck".
