Plymouth College Preparatory School pupil, Ceri Evans, 10, has won the U14 intermediate duo title at the British Street Dance Championships.

Competing against 60 pairs, Ceri and her partner, Courtney Lendon, aged 12, won their way through six heats to lift the champion's trophy.  The girls are members of B-3 Dance Studios in Plymouth and in November came second in the U12 intermediate duo Welsh Street Dance Championships.

Held in Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, the British event took place over three days.  As well as winning the duos, Ceri came 4th in the U12 intermediate solo class and took 5th place in the U14 newcomers' quad section.

"Courtney and I were really pleased when we won", said Ceri.  "It was quite a tiring weekend but I loved every minute of it."

Fellow Prep pupil and reigning Welsh Street Dance Champion, Sam Harvey, aged 7, came 4th in the U8 intermediate solo while his brother Ben, 11, a pupil at the senior school, came 3rd in the U16 intermediate duo category.  Sam and Ben both dance with Rhythm City.
