A Preston-based dancer Lilliana Willacy, who is representing England in this year’s Dance World Cup, has been sponsored by Bowker Mini.

The international competition will take place on 3 – 12 July, at the Evolution Forum Burgos in Spain and will bring dancers from 71 countries.

Lilliana Willacy said: “I still can’t believe I’ve been chosen to represent Team England!

“Dancing at the Dance World Cup is a dream come true, and I’m so excited to perform in Spain with my teammates.

“I’m really grateful for all the support and now from Bowker MINI too – and I can’t wait to get on that stage!”

With garages in Preston and Blackburn, Bowker Mini is supporting and sponsoring Lilliana as she wishes to add another title to her current 40 trophy count.

Richard Clare, MINI Brand Manager at Bowker, said: “Lilliana’s dedication and talent are truly inspiring.

“Representing Team England on such a global stage is a huge achievement, and we are delighted to support her on this journey.”

To further support her journey, a fundraising event is underway to help cover costs. You can donate here.
