World Lyrical Champions!

Seven of our CSBS Starshine Elite team represented Scotland at the World Lyrical Dance Federation (WLDF) World Championships in Dublin… and came home with a haul of trophies including World Champion titles!

The dancers had qualified for the World Championships by rising up the rankings over the past year in heats across Scotland and the UK, competing in a range of solos, duets, small groups and group routines. Well done to Hannah Firth, Rachel Higgins, Murray Leitch, Chloe Murray, Emmy Phillips and Georgia Rosenfeld. Most of the dancers also moved up an age level for the Championships which made their success even more impressive!
