Tunbridge Wells Dance School to Represent Team England at the Dance World Cup
Firefly Dance School based in Tunbridge Wells, has been selected to represent Team England in the Dance World Cup, taking place next summer in Prague.
The talented youngsters age five to 17 years, will compete against dance schools from across the globe in 15 dances, in the categories of song and dance, national and folklore and lyrical. The Dance World Cup is the largest all-genre international competition in the world with 120,000 competitors from 65 countries participating.
There were over 5,000 entries into the qualifiers and Firefly Dance School beat off stiff competition to be named in the Team England squad.
Carla Nicholson-Fuller, Principal of Firefly Dance School said: "I am so excited and proud to take my team to the World Cup next year. This is the first time we've ever entered, so to qualify 15 dances was an absolute dream come true. Firefly Dance School and its students mean everything to me, we are a small dance school that caters to local families, so this opportunity means the world to us.
"The calibre of dance schools that enter is extremely high, to be selected for Team England is a huge honour and testament to the hard work the girls have put into their rehearsals to date. We can't wait to dance on the world stage in Prague next summer."

As well as rehearsing hard over the next few months, the dance school needs to raise funds to help send the dancers who will be competing in the Dance World Cup. Firefly Dance School is reaching out to their local community, businesses, friends and family for any support, to help them fund their travel, costumes and any additional expenses that occur.
For anyone wishing to lend some support, the dance school have set up a Go Fund Me page for donations, alongside numerous fundraising activities but are also open to discuss specific sponsorship opportunities for anyone interested in supporting this exciting opportunity.
