The studio's senior team placed sixth in the world and third in the Nations Cup, only just behind Japan and the US.
The junior team were ranked seventh in the world after their competition.

‘‘They are by far the best thing our dance studio has ever put out there,’’ Ms Reis said.
‘‘We are so proud of all these dancers.’’
