LYNNE and Carolyn Soanes danced their way to success, collecting more than 20 trophies.

When this picture was taken in 1979, they had just returned from a festival at Blackpool, where they had added to their haul.

Lynne, 14, and Carolyn, 11, of Nowell Road, Rose Hill, Oxford, trained at Terry Marsden’s dancing academy and had been entering competitions for three years. Their mother, Pat, said: “Their favourite dance is the tango, but they also like to have a fling with the modern Grease dances.”
