Stacey Anderson, who runs New Movement, said: “The results came through just before Christmas, 43 qualifiers, pretty much each child that entered qualified in something.

“We were over the moon because everyone’s getting to go now.”

The dancers will be away for the competition from June 27 for ten days and they are currently training in preparation.

“They are working really hard, even the wee ones," said Stacey. "It’s been really good.” 

Speaking of the competition, Stacey said: “It runs over ten days but the first part of the week is juniors and the second part is seniors. The older girls are flying out early to watch the wee ones.

“It’s really special that they have got each other.”
