Sisters Keeran Greener and Bethany Coyne set up The Worx 11 years ago after dancing themselves from a young age and co-principal Keeran has revealed her pride in the pupils.
She said: “Everyone of them did amazing, it was really long days and the atmosphere was electric but it was great to see everyone back together again.
"They all took part in a week long ‘boot camp’ before the competition and they all worked so hard to prepare for the world cup.

"Myself and Beth are really proud of them for coming out of lockdown and smashing the Dance World Cup, we can’t wait for next year now.”
