The group are made up of 13 kids and they collected 25 trophies throughout the day.

All of the members are local with kids from across Lanarkshire, including Carluke and Hamilton.

They are self-taught and started the club up because they wanted to be part of the dance community.

The dance crew are run by the parents and are a nonprofit making group who are currently looking for a sponsor.

They held a race night which raised just under £3000 which helped them pay for travel and coaches.

Morse Code plan to dance all the way to the 2017 world championships which are being held at the SEC in Glasgow.

Lizzie Gracie, one of the organisers, said: “They are really talented kids. We feel like things are really starting to come together for us now and we appreciate all the support we have been receiving.” choreographer
