The eleven-year-old, from Deborah Whelan Dance (Dulwich), has also qualified for next year’s World Championships, representing the Southern Region, in the Royal Concert Hall, Glasgow, in March, 2018.
Maisie thanked her teachers Deborah Whelan and Caroline Mcdonald for their time, effort and support they have given her over the last three years.
