A DANCE troupe featuring an Oxford teenager has been praised for a 'breathtaking' performance on prime time television.
Company Jinks made it through to the next round of BBC talent show The Greatest Dancer after being voted through on Saturday night.
Among the London-based contemporary dance crew is 15-year-old Headington School pupil Rheia Reader, who said it was an 'honour' to perform on the show.

They were one of three acts selected by Glee and Broadway actor Matthew Morrison for the live shows, to compete against acts chosen by fellow 'dance captains' - singer Cheryl and Strictly Come Dancing star Oti Mabuse.
Company Jinks used chairs as props for their performance and were showered with compliments by viewers on Twitter, who described their routine as 'stunning' and 'mesmerising'.
Company jinx’s chair dance is one of the most stunning pieces of dance I’ve seen #thegreatestdancer
