A nine-year-old girl is hoping to dance her way into becoming the UK’s next Bollywood superstar.

Croydon High School pupil Shania Makkar was encouraged to enter auditions for the Bollywood Dance Championships after spending five years training at Honeys Dance Academy.

Miss Makkar will take to the stage for the solo dance heart at St Giles Hotel, central London on April 17.

Honey Kalaria, founder of Honeys Dance Academy, said the young dancer “displays great potential”.

She said: “The Bollywood Dance Championships will be another fantastic opportunity for talent to be seen by worldwide audiences and I would highly recommend that anyone interested in dance should audition.

“You never know, this platform may become their ticket to Bollywood.”
