A GROUP of youngsters had a dream come true when they danced onstage with Justin Bieber during his UK arena tour.

Dancers aged as young as six were invited onstage to strut their stuff in front of thousands of people alongside the Canadian pop megastar during shows at Manchester Arena and the Genting Arena in Birmingham.

Four kids from Warrington performed with Bieber during his song Children after winning a competition which saw them learn a special dance routine and upload of video of it to Youtube.

Sisters Tegan and Kaitlen Williams, aged six and 10, were among those picked and they danced during shows at the Manchester Arena on Thursday, October 20, and Sunday, October 23.

Mum Michelle said: “They were over the moon when they found out – Kaitlen was over the moon and jumping for joy.

“It’s just a dream come true for any child really, especially when it’s somebody they love and they look up to – it was amazing.

“They loved it and they loved meeting the dancers, who are very famous in the industry so they got all their autographs.”

The Fearnhead sisters, who attend Cinnamon Brow Community Primary School and dance at the Aim Sky High Company in Manchester, became mini-celebrities after their performances.

Michelle added: “On both nights when we were coming out of the arena all his fans were stopping to have pictures with them – it was like they were little celebrities and it took us a while to get out.

“They had thousands of people screaming at them – it was absolutely amazing and I was so proud of them.”

Four dancers from Museum Street-based StagePro Academy also had the honour of going onstage with Justin.

Indea Loverseed and Charlotte Roberts from Northwich were selected alongside Callum Armstrong from Latchford and Chantelle Walehaine from Padgate.

Ten-year-old Chantelle, who goes to Christ Church CE Primary School, danced during Bieber’s Thursday Manchester show.

Mum Michelle said: “She was so excited when she found out – she couldn’t stop smiling and she was jumping up and down on her bed.

“I couldn’t stop crying and it was really amazing just to think that of the thousands of children who had applied that she got through – she was so happy and didn’t stop smiling for the whole of the concert.

“She had no nerves at all – if that was me I don’t think I’d have even got on the stage.”

Cardinal Newman Catholic High School student Callum’s moment in the spotlight was a proud one for the 11-year-old’s mum Tracy Cottam.

She said: “I was lost for words when I found out and Callum was exactly the same – he was over the moon.

“To see your kids up on that stage is just a once in a lifetime opportunity and a dream come true.

“Callum was on top of the world and he was mesmerised when he first walked into the arena.

“It was just amazing and I couldn’t be prouder.”
