Ever since he could walk Jack Price has been dancing around to the radio.

And now at the age of eight, young Jack has been selected from thousands to perform with Justin Bieber as part of his Purpose Show in Manchester.

Jack, who attends Whitchurch Junior School, was also crowned world champion street dancer at an international competition two years ago.

He qualified for the global competition after winning regional and national competitions.

And at the UDO World Street Dance Championships in 2014, he was finally crowned best in the world for his age group.

His father Steve Price said: "We are all so proud of Jack he has done amazingly well.

"Dancing is Jack's life. He really wants to have a career in street dancing. He has been having dance lessons since he was four and he trains nine hours a week at VIA Dance in Crewe.

"In August, Jack went to a four-day HDI children's dance camp to train with some other dancers. It was the first time he had been away from us.

"Some members of the organisers, Soar UK, noticed Jack for his amazing dance skills and they put his name forward for an audition to dance with Justin Bieber."

Mr Price said Jack was sent a video of a choreography routine for Justin's new song Children, which he then had to learn and perform at an audition.

He added: "We took Jack to Manchester for the audition last week.

"He did amazingly well and we are all very pleased for him. Jack loves dancing and had a YouTube channel where he uploads his competition performances."

"He can't wait for the perform now."
