DANCING queens Alexandra Ainsworth and Rebecca Marsh have achieved a double medal success after only joining their dance school six weeks ago.

Alexandra, nine, of Mill Hill, and Rebecca, 11, of Blackburn, received silver medals for their disco dancing and bronze medals for their rock 'n' roll routine during exams at Ally Katz Dance Studio.

They became firm friends when they took up dancing three years ago and decided to move dance schools to join Ally Katz six weeks ago.

Alexandra's proud mum Elaine said: "Both girls have done extremely well seeing as they only joined Ally Katz recently.

"They'd never done rock 'n' roll dancing before, so to learn a routine and get bronze medals in their exam in such a short space of time is quite an achievement."
