Dance students have twirled their way to success by getting top marks in a national competition.

More than 60 pupils from the Western Dance Centre, in High Road, Hadleigh, travelled to Blackpool to take part in the national ballroom and Latin competition.

Delighted principal John Damljanovic said the students had performed exceptionally well coming first in the under eight, under 16 and under 25 categories.
