Two dance students are getting ready to perform in China.

Darja Guzikova, 22, and Harshil Chauhan, 20, both dance graduates from Middlesex University, have been selected to represent the university at Beijing Dance Academy for a week, starting this Thursday.

They will perform a piece called 'Forest'.

Ms Guzikova, who is originally from Lithuania and now lives in London, said it felt like a “huge opportunity”.

She added: “We’re a bit nervous, as we’ll be representing the whole university as well as the dance course, but we’re also really excited to take on the challenge.”
