Over 30 talented performers of all ages from a local Bracknell dance school have wowed the crowds at this year’s UDO Street Dancing World championships.

Dancexite dance school was invited to the world championships after dancers undertook 12 months of qualifying rounds at regional championship level.

The Dancexite dancers came back with a number of titles to their name. Two of their crews got to the finals placing 6th and 7th and lots of solo/duo dancers placed in the top 7.
