WORLD TITLE HOPES FOR LOCAL DANCERS

The Franze Academy dancers hope to represent England again in America next year after bringing back the World title in 2005.

They are the only school in the country to be invited to Hollywood in 2007 to take part in the World Champions in Dance Excellence.

The local dancers who now meet at  the Hawkinge Village Hall were kicked out of the Hawkinge Community Centre in 2004.

The expulsion  followed an alleged incident at the academy’s Christmas show held at the Centre on the evening of December 20th, 2004. click for more details
