A SQUAD of young cheerleaders from Inverclyde are through to the second round of the World Championships in Florida today.

The girls from DM Diamondz and Dancemania are all taking to the floor representing Team Scotland.

We reported earlier this week how five girls from the Gourock dance studio had made it into the national squads - and they have made a great start at the competition.

Both Hayley Casement and Eva Campbell competed on the stage together in the Junior Prom yesterday and they were followed by the rest of the dancers Luna McGuiness, Lily Brown and Emma McBride.
