A Newtown dance company will be representing Wales at the Dance World Cup this summer.
Dancers at Shelley Ann Choreography are busy rehearsing for the big event which will have competitors from 62 countries aiming to impress top international judges in Telford next month.
Shelley Ann Simmonds, dancer and choreographer, said: "When I first initiated my new dance team, qualifying for Team Wales was the ultimate goal for my company amongst other big events.
"I competed in the Dance World Cup back in 2016 therefore I'm extremely excited to experience this from the other perspective and to have my own dance company be part of such an incredible opportunity is beyond rewarding.
"I'm so proud to share this journey with them."
Shelley Ann added: "My dancers and I have been very lucky to have been sponsored by many companies helping us raise money for our team kit."
The dance company would like to thank Mathew Thomas Painter and Decorator, Yamaha Off Road Experience, Quality Pipe Supports, Invertek, Blue Ocean Care, Gastronomy Foods UK, Welshpool Printing Group, Lloyds Haulage LTD, Lee Pickett and Jean Cufley for their support.
