Dancers from Writhlington Leisure’s Dance programme had a fantastic week in the Somerset County Carnival Circuit; the girls took home first place from Midsomer Norton, Shepton Mallet, Wells and Glastonbury Carnivals!

The girls, who are coached by Azlee and Becky, train between four and seven hours per week across different genres of dance, and worked tirelessly to perfect their performance. This year, they undertook Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, and all the children perfected a different character from the classic tale. Costumes were made by local resident, Lucy Bush, who did a fantastic job of depicting the characters and making the girls really stand out. Coach, Azlee, said: “I’m really proud of each and every dancer. We have come on a long way since our first Carnival last year, and I think we have proven that Writhlington Leisure’s Dance program is a great place to train.”
