Following the recent World Cup Qualifying heats, Totnes School of Dance, has had 41 of their pupils chosen by the British Selection Panel to represent England at the 2018 Dance World Cup in Barcelona, Spain in June 2018.

The Dance World cup attracts over 15,000 competitors from over 49 countries worldwide. All genres of dance including ballet, tap, jazz, musical theatre and contemporary are included, it is such an honour for our girls to have been chosen to represent England across three different genres. This is an enormous achievement considering over ten thousand competitors entered the qualifier and Totnes is the only school in the entire south West of England to have been selected.

The squad, are keen to do their very best, hungry for a medal, they have now embarked on a gruelling training and rehearsal schedule, in addition to attending school full time and keeping on top of their homework. Alongside their intense training, the team are also fund raising to cover the cost of the trip. Supermarket bag packing, Hotel and City centre performances, barn dances, raffles, car washes and much more are penned on their busy calendars!  They must do this to cover the costs of their training, travel, accommodation, kit and uniforms.
