A TEENAGE tapper is celebrating after winning another accolade.
Rosie Howell, 15, beat tough competition from tap dancers across the country to win the senior section of the Marjorie Davies Tap Awards on Sunday.
The South Wilts schoolgirl competed in a heat of more than 50 dancers in February, where they had to do a class and then perform the routine they had been shown on their own. She then got through to the final at Cecil Sharp House in London.
The categories are broken down into junior, senior and premier sections and after winning the junior section in 2011, Rosie came back this year to scoop the senior prize.
Her proud mother Jane said: “She’s done extremely well. She’s absolutely elated.”
Rosie takes tap lessons at Salisbury Dance Studios in Wilton Road and also studies ballet, modern and jazz. She is also in the England tap dancing team, Tap Attack.
