Current under-10 champions Mollie Finlow and Krystina Soden-Barton will take to the floor in the under 12 category, while Denim Hadley and Jamie-Leigh Atwell will battle it out in the under 16s group.
The two couples, who train at Black Country dance school 'Dancefusion', will be competing against finalists from Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the north of England at the spiritual home of British ballroom.
