Imogen Mansfield, 15, from North End Creech St Michael has received sponsorship from Somerset Web Services to help her achieve her career as a professional dancer.

Imogen, who attends Monkton Heathfield Community School, has been dancing ballet since the age of 3 and also started dancing lessons with Mrs Searle in Creech Village Hall aged 3.

She has passed all her exams with distinction and has won many competitions in recent years, including being placed in the South West England Senior Ballet Championships in Exeter in February 2012. This qualifies her to compete in the All England Dance Championships in London in 2013.

Imogen has to travel to Wales frequently where she is an associate dancer for the Ballet Cymru, an honour for such a young dancer. The sponsorship helps cover the travel costs.

Managing Director of Somerset Web Services, Nigel Finch said, “We are delighted to hear of a very talented dancer from Creech and wish her every success in her ambitions”.

Imogen added “I really enjoy dancing and representing Taunton in competitions around the South West. I would like to thank Nigel and his company for sponsoring me and would welcome sponsorship from other local businesses"
