Darcie dances with Kahli Lewis Dance Company in Farnham and says she is “honoured” to have been given the opportunity.

At the Dance World Cup Darcie will dance with forty-three young dancers from the Kahli Lewis Dance Company.

The dancers, aged between six and 18 auditioned against hundreds of other hopefuls to successfully secure their place on Team England.

Darcie has qualified to perform in eight dances including ballet, contemporary, folklore, lyrical and contemporary.

She said: “I am honoured to have been selected to be part of Team England and I am looking forward to representing Berkshire and England at the Dance World Cup.”

Team England is currently the Dance World Champions, having won the Dance World Cup in 2023.

Kahli Lewis has a successful track record in choreographing for England with one of her dances being awarded ‘The Most Outstanding Small Group Dance in the World’ at the 2023 Dance World Cup.

Kahli Lewis said: “I am so proud of Darcie and the whole team.

“They train tirelessly and their dedication and commitment to dance and each other is to be commended.

!It is always nerve-wracking waiting to find out who has been selected to represent England, but this year with 44 of our dancers being selected to dance in 38 dances, the nerves quickly faded, replaced with pride and the realisation of the hard work ahead of us.

“The dancers have a gruelling rehearsal schedule in the coming months but one they are already embracing with enthusiasm and excitement.”

The Dance World Cup 2024 takes place from June 27 to July 6.
