A BOURNEMOUTH dance group are heading for the world championships of a dance competition.

D.F.A Street Dance Crew entered the Newcomers category of the UDO Southern regional dance championships, which took place in Reading.

They were pitted against 22 other crews and managed to win first prize, which has automatically put them through to the World finals in Blackpool in August.

Two more awards were handed out to members of the group. Conner Stone won first place in the under-12s Newcomers category and Tia Quinn won the under 14s Newcomers category.
