    Congratulations to Macie, Maddie and Arlo (and their team-mates) who recently competed in the UK Street Dance Championships at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool. Maddie and Arlo came 4th in the U12 competition Macie and her friend came 3rd in the 16+ competition- a massive achievement for a 13 year old! Macie, with her team 'FlexOut', came 2nd in their first championships! Maddie, Arlo with their Team 'Rubix' WON the U14 competition and are back to back UK Champions! This was made an even greater achievement by the fact they were competing in a higher age bracket; they should have been in U12s, but with no competitors, they made the choice to try and compete against older teams. Well done everyone!
