A DANCING duo are keeping their contemporaries on their toes after winning a regional dance competition.

Eleven-year-olds Leanne Storey, of Kensington Close, Greenmount and Hanna Armitage, who lives in Prestwich, are both students at Riches dance studio, on The Rock, Bury.

The pair each won their category in ballroom and Latin dance at the North West Region Medallist competition, organised by the International Dance Teachers Association.

Now they are well on their way to competing in the national finals which are to be held at Blackpool's Winter Gardens in May.
