LITTLE Anna Reed swept the board in a dancing competition to round off a wonderful year.
The talented four-year-old, from Baltimore Road in Darlington, has won six trophies at the Middlesbrough and Cleveland Dance Festival.
In four competitions since she started dancing, Anna has won 21 titles in her age group.
She has just started at St Bede's RC Primary School in Darlington and attends the Janice Wilson School of Dance.
Proud father Shaun Reed said that a judge approached the family after the Middlesbrough competition and said Anna was born to perform.
Mr Reed said: "For somebody to take the time to come over and have a word was worth even more than winning the prizes."
Anna seemed to have a natural talent for dancing from the start and really enjoyed the competitions, he said. "It's not a case of the parents pushing their child forward, she's taken the lead and we're supporting her."
