A DANCER from Taunton came second at the UK Pole Championships Grand Final.

Amy Williams, who owns Studio22 in the town centre, competed against seven other professionals at the event at the weekend.

She said: “The show was pretty epic, in more ways than one. I never thought I’d place second in my category so I’m so pleased I did – I still can’t believe it.”

Amy is already planning her next performance at her studios in Nightingale Lodge for the Christmas showcase December 20.

Performances will include all types of dance including aerial hoop, pole and street.
