Eleven young dancers from Valentine Theatre School in Marston Green are hoping to represent England at the Global Dance Open World Finals in the Netherlands in summer 2027.
Aged 9 to 16, the girls train five to seven days a week and will compete at the England Qualifiers in February, hoping to secure their places at the international finals.
They follow an impressive VTS history at the Global Dance Open, with previous dancers winning Gold, Silver and Bronze medals, earning places in the prestigious Gala and achieving the Dancer of the Globe title.
Get behind Team VTS
Fundraising is now underway to help give the girls the best possible opportunity as they work towards the Global Dance Open. The group is looking for local businesses and organisations to get behind Team VTS through sponsorship, donations, and raffle prizes.
Support directly online: A GoFundMe page has been launched to directly support the girls’ travel and entry costs. Every contribution makes a meaningful difference!
