A DANCE studio in Weobley has had a successful start to 2018.

Senior pupil at Aspire Dance Studio, Teagan Melville has been offered places at five of the top performing arts colleges in the UK to study Musical Theatre.

She was also a major medal winner at Worcester Dance Festival.

Olivia Sheppard also had success at the festival with a bronze medal in the Modern Solo Senior E section. Both girls have now qualified for the regional All England Heat which takes place in May next year.

Aspire celebrates its 10th anniversary this year with a showcase performance on May 4 and 5 at Hereford’s Courtyard Theatre.

The studio started as a small after school club at Weobley High School and now has its own premises in Weobley with more than 180 pupils.
