Nantwich dancers AJ and Chloe crowned UK champions again

Nantwich’s TV dancing sensations AJ and Chloe have been crowned UK Under 21s Closed Latin Champions 2014.

Former Brine Leas School pupil AJ Pritchard, 19, and Chloe Hewitt, 18, beat 40 couples to take the title for the third year in a row.

The pair shot to fame as finalists in last year’s Britain’s Got Talent TV show.

And they have continued their good work by landing the title at the prestigious Championships at The BIC Centre in Bournemouth.

AJ, of Pritchard’s Dance & Fitness Academy in Burleydam, and Chloe, a part time beautician, of No Man’s Heath, have also been dancing for charity.

They helped raise funds for St Luke`s (Cheshire) Hospice by performing at The Annual Ball, and for The Donna Louise Children`s Hospice Ball.

AJ said: “Our performance in the live finals of Britain’s Got Talent 2013 with an audience of 13 million viewers was one of our highlights, together with many of the charity events that we have supported during our career.

“Our decision to specialise in The Latin Genre is an exciting new journey.”

AJ’s mum Debi Pritchard said: “It’s been an amazing year for them.

“We need to mention the following support given to us from our sponsors Mr John Kerr, Fayrefield Foods Limited.”

AJ Pritchard and Chloe have danced together for seven years, starting out as juniors.
