The academy’s Lightning Strikes squads won all the hip-hop categories, as well as taking first places for mini-pom and senior jazz.

They also came home with two third places and a fourth, their best results to date.

Coaches Sarah Levine and Elyse Bell are incredibly proud of all their dancers who train at Dance Rite in ballet, jazz, hip hop, Pom and gymnastics and who have worked very hard to be top of their game.

They are now looking forward to the rest of an already exciting season.
