VLDD stepping out to success
Victoria’s dance company - Victoria Lagan Dance and Drama or VLDD - came away with a grand total of nine first places, five second spots, six third place medals and one fourth place.
Victoria said: “At the end of the weekend I received the “Dance Producer” of the year award. I was completely shocked and honoured. It was truly touching to be credited for the time, effort, stress and dedication I put into my studio. It was an absolutely incredible experience for all dancers involved from aged 5-18 - many of them their very first competition.

“This was the first competition of the season for 2017 and it has made us so excited for the next ones.”
VLDD studio is based in Coleraine with classes running six days a week in jazz, hip hop, acrobatics, contemporary dance and drama.
Victoria continued: “VLDD Studio is more than a local dance school, to so many of our students it really is their second home. Our studio prides itself on a high standard of training.
