West Lothian dancers aiming for global success at Dance World Cup in Portugal

Six West Lothian dancers will be out to secure global success for Scotland at the Dance World Cup.

The sextet are part of a 72-strong group from the Edinburgh Dance Academy (EDA) who will be mixing it up with the best in the world at the event, which will be staged in Braga, Portugal from June 3 - July 8.

Lisa Alexander, Halle Condie, Olivia Condie, Carlie Ferguson, Mia Guldberg and Sasha Rennie will be amongst a remarkable 7500 dancers from across the globe who will be descending on Braga in a bid to be crowned the best in the world.

The girls are part of the EDA delegation which is compromised of dancers from its Performance Group, aged between seven and 18.

The performers will take part in a mixture of dances including Jazz, Ballet, Contemporary, Show and Commerical. In total, the group will take part in over 100 acts where they hope to emulate the school’s gold medal-winning success when it last travelled abroad to compete at the 2018 Dance World Cup in Spain.

The dances have been choreographed by Hannah Boyle, Megan Ireland, Millie Thomas, Ellen West and Jenni Inglis, who was named the UK’s most inspirational choreographer at the British Isles competition held earlier this year in Blackpool.
