Originally Elizabeth hadn’t made the cut for the national finals, coming just short at the regional finals in Aldershot.

The former Springfield School pupil said: ‘When I made it to the regionals, I’d never performed a solo dance to that amount of people before.

‘I found it scary to start with but by the end of the dance I found I really enjoyed it.’

Elizabeth, who works in Gunwharf Quays while doing a teacher-training course one day a week at Havant and South Downs College, has been dancing for five years.

‘After I did the first class it just clicked,’ she said.
