The delighted group of four train at Full Out Dance School in Telford and were chosen from thousands of young people in an international competition that landed them a spot with the Canadian pop singer on stage.

Trinity Biddulph, 12, and Beth Nickless, 16, both of Telford, Chloe Greenfield, 13, of Shifnal and Eylse Mannion, 12, of Wolverhampton, were due to strut their stuff at the Genting Arena last night.

Trinity's proud grandmother Marilyn Owen, 60, of High Street, Wellington, said: "I'm so really proud of her that she has been selected to perform on such a big stage with such a huge star. She's been dancing since she was two. They do ballet, tap, modern, theatre craft and street dance which is what they are doing with Justin.

"I've got butterflies for them all, but I know that they'll do really well."

The talented girls were put forward for the show by their dance teacher Dee Spencer.

She said: "I had to teach them the choreography set out in the challenge, which was to Justin's song called Children, we put it up online and hoped they would get noticed.

"I am so unbelievably excited and proud of them. All my students give 100 per cent and their hard work has definitely paid off for them."

The four spent yesterday afternoon getting ready for the evening show, meeting Bieber and the regular backing dancers.
