Dancing stars Andrei Toader and Mia Linnik Holden

Middleton dancers Mia Linnik Holden and Andrei Toader, aged 13 and 14, have been invited to train at the exclusive Vivo Latino training camp in Bari, Italy, at the end of July - a camp only open to two top couples from each country.

Middleton Rotary Club, which has provided support to Mia and Andrei for a number of years, is assisting again by part funding the costs.

Keith Trinnaman, Treasurer of Middleton Rotary Club, said: “The club are delighted to support Mia and Andrei in this way.

“The training camp in Bari will add more polish to their already excellent dancing.

“We at Middleton Rotary Club pride ourselves in being part of the local community, encouraging as best we can any young people that show great promise.

“Mia and Andrei are shining lights in the local community and are a great example to other youngsters as to what can be achieved with determination and discipline coupled with the undoubted skill that they possess.

“I know that all members of the club are very proud of their achievements and follow their progress and believe that we should support such talent as best we can.

“We wish Mia and Andrei great success in the future, and are sure that the title world champions is well within their grasp in the coming years.”
