They are now raising money to ensure the dancers have the financial support they need.

A £50,000 fund-raising appeal has been launched, with money needed to cover entry fees for the dancers, Team England kit, costumes and travel.

The school is planning to hold a number of fund-raising events in the coming months, but hopes Wiganers will also offer support through donations or sponsorship.

Anyone able to help is asked to email [email protected] or go to gofund.me/f6b41b99.
