VERSATILE Victoria Grabowski demonstrated dancing skills across the board, clinching first place at a prestigious dance school competition.

Fifteen-year-old Victoria, of Parkhills Road, Bury, danced her way to the top at a contest held by the Judy Clegg Dance Centre, Haslingden, displaying her expertise in ten different forms of dancing.

The competition pitted dancers against each other in forms ranging from Latin and disco dancing to classical ballroom.

While Bury Grammar pupil Victoria came first, her sister, Sarah (18), who had also clinched a place in the Ten Dancing Competition final, at Haslingden Public Hall, finished fifth. The sisters regularly dance together.

Their dad, Robert, said: "Victoria was very surprised and shocked about winning because the competition was very stiff. When it happened, it was like a bolt out of the blue."
