A Herne Bay dance group is toasting its success after scooping a haul of medals at a festival in Thanet.

Youngsters from Hasland Dance Studios, in Kings Road, impressed judges at the showpiece event, scooping 11 golds, eight silvers and seven bronzes.

Three dancers bagged top marks, with Faye Joyce winning the Junior Lyrical Cup, Megan Hughes the Senior Modern Cup and Elisha Santer the highest marks for her four solos.

Hasland principal Anna Greenhalgh was proud of the youngsters’ achievements, and said they will now be looking forward to their biennial dance show in July. For more information email: info@haslanddancestudios.com or call 01227 636773.
