Street Dance
Bobbie Hales and Abbi Pearson, both Year 7 students, took part in the World Championship Street Dance competition. They travelled to Bochum in Germany to compete. The girls have been dancing for three years and belong to a club called I.B. based in Basildon. They did extremely well and won the trophy that they are pictured here with taking 5th place in the Electric Boogie Duo category. They were placed 8th in the Crew category and 17th in the Hip Hop Duo. Well done to the girls and we wish them every success for future competitions.
