Kaiya dances her way to World Champion success!

Champion dancer Kaiya Gooding

It was trophy time as Oldham youngster Kaiya Gooding was crowned World Street Dance Champion.

Every year, the United Dance Organisation holds 57 regional competitive events across the globe, where artists compete to qualify for the world’s biggest street dance competition of the year – the UDO World Street Dance Championships.

This year, the event took place in Glasgow and eight-year-old Kaiya stepped up to the plate.

The young star beat every competitor in the under-10 solos category to be crowned u-10 world street dance champion 2018.

We look forward to seeing what the future holds for this competitor already making waves on the dancefloor!
