A TEENAGER beat off competition from 500 other youngsters to win a place as a backing dancer at a TV awards ceremony.
Andrea Clifford, 15, was one of only 20 dancers chosen to appear at the Disney Channel Kids' Awards ceremony in London later this month.
Andrea, who is a pupil at Greenhaff dancing school in Belmont where she lives, will appear on the show with pop band A1.
The awards, which honour children's television presenters, shows and bands will be broadcast on the Disney Channel.
Andrea, who hopes to have a career as a dancing teacher, said: "I couldn't believe I got that far. It's amazing."
