Despite their age, Edith and Oliver compete in the juvenile dance section (under 12s).

They are taught by Lisa Fiddes-Dobson at her dance school in Cramlington and Lee Dudman at The Dudman Academy of Performing Arts in Fenham, Newcastle.

Oliver and Edith won the UK Under 10 Ballroom and Latin Championships when they were just eight-years-old in July this year.

Battle Of The Ballroom will take place in Bournemouth on Sunday. It is due to start at 1pm.
