Two cheerleaders have plenty to shout about after being ‘head-hunted’ to compete in Australia.

Beth Armitage, 21, and Natalie Hughes, 20, both honed their talents with the Cheer Zone Allstars, based at The Zone in Huddersfield.

The two dancers were spotted by Sonia Roarty, director of Cheer Factor, based in Tullamarine in Victoria.

Sonia was impressed by both Beth and Natalie when she visited the UK last year and invited them over.

Before moving to Australia Sonia lived in the UK and coached Huddersfield Town’s cheerleaders and helped lay the foundations for the Cheer Zone Allstars.

Beth and Natalie started ‘cheering’ about eight years ago and have been a big part in Cheer Zone’s success so far.

Beth recently qualified as a paediatric nurse and is taking a year out to visit Australia and is staying with Sonia.

Natalie, a fitness instructor, moved Down Under in February.

Cheer Zone Allstars is now looking for the next generation of dancers. For details e-mail dance@thezone.uk.com or ring 01484 484163 for a try-out pack.
