"Her appointment as captain is a testament to her outstanding dedication, exceptional skill, and determination within the dance community."
Seren, a pupils at St Joseph's School in Wrexham, has been supported throughout her dancing journey by her parents Mark and Nicola Seddon.

"It's the icing on the cake, to be dancing there and to lead the team out in the parade.
"It's become our life as much as hers, it's a huge commitment, started off slowly and now we're on a juggernaut with it all."

Seren has already achieved more than most could dream of but she certainly isn't stopping any time soon.
Mark added: "Ultimately she wants to become a professional ballerina.
"She currently dances every Saturday in Manchester with the Royal Ballet. When she first started, two years ago she got an offer to dance full time at the White Lodge in Richmond [which sees full-time classical ballet training run alongside the students' regular academic classes].
"Seren was only 10 and didn't want to leave home, or stop going to Delta Academy or stop doing competitions.
"Her love is dancing and she does so many different types, she has nine different solos that she does for Delta, and that's what she loves more than anything."

Gifted Seren, who has three brothers, hopes to eventually go to the Royal Ballet full time, after she completes her GCSEs.
Mark, who along with wife Nicola will be joining Seren in Spain, cannot praise the support she has had enough.
He said: "I used to play rugby, she certainly doesn't get her ability from me. But she works hard, has got a talent, people always tell us she's a natural.
"The staff at Delta are amazing, the way they treat all the girls, they're second to none.
"Teachers at the Royal Ballet have said they can tell Seren has good coaching away from them."
Seren will lead her team and compete in the Dance World Cup in Burgos, Spain, which takes place from July 3 to July 12.
