Following on from his success in the British Street Dancing Championships earlier this year, Plymouth College pupil, Ben Harvey, can now add 'World Champion' to his string of accolades.
Part of dance crew, Atomic, the Year 8 pupil competed against teams from all over Europe, Asia, Africa and the USA in the competition in Blackpool. The Plymouth dancers put in a superb performance and beat 16 nations to lift the U18 Newcomer Team Street Dance World Champions 2011 trophy. Earlier in the competition Ben and his dance instructor fought off stiff competition from 17 pairs to take 3rd place in the world in the Adult and Child category.
Next up for Ben, who trains at Rhythm City Dance Studio, is the High Schools Championships in October. In November he will travel to Wales to defend his Welsh Street Dance Championship title.
