The JTYAF recently received an application for a brother (17 years) and sister (14 years) who will be competing in the Tap Dance World Championships in Prague later this year.

This isn’t the first time that they have had the honour to be selected to represent their country. In 2019 and 2022 they competed with Team GB, and in 2023 both returned home as World Champions with 5 medals between them.

The dancers in Team GB are selected from all over the country and our award winners are part of a team of 49. All costs are paid for by their families as Tap Dance is not recognised as a sport and doesn’t qualify for any grants or subsidies.

The JTYAF is delighted to help towards the travel expenses for their trip to Prague, so that these two talented youngsters can take up this opportunity to compete at the highest level. We wish them both every success and look forward to hearing about their achievements.
