Two dancers from Liverpool have made history by winning back-to-back national titles at one of the most prestigious dance competitions in the world.
Lili-Mae Owens McGuiness and Owen Doolan, who are both members of the performing arts conservatoire NDHQ, received the accolades of Miss Dance of Great Britain 2025 and Dance Master of Great Britain 2026, respectively.
Both of these dancers come from Old Swan in Liverpool, both joining Nazene Danielle’s dance school on Prescot Road over 15 years ago.
Miss Dance and Dance Master of Great Britain are regarded as one of the most respected and long-established competitions in the dance calendar.
Dancers who take part in this competition spend a year competing in qualifying events in the hopes of making it to the finals, with only around 50 dancers nationwide being selected.
Speaking on their achievements, Nazene Danielle, who is also NDHQ principal, said: “Lili-Mae and Owen are so much more than students to me, they’re family.
“We’ve shared so many memories, challenges, successes, and milestones together over the years, so seeing them achieve these awards has been incredibly emotional and rewarding.”
The competition is held at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool every year, with the 2026 event having taken place on Sunday the 14th of June.
