The Warrnambool tweens recently won best under 15 duo at the United Dance Organisation Australian championships in Melbourne.
The pair is now hoping to compete in Glasgow next August for title of World Street Dance Champions.
Warrnambool Dance Studio 101 teacher Sheridan Sicely said winning the award was notable for the region.
“It’s a great achievement for a couple of country kids,” Mrs Sicely said.
“They are really hungry for it.”
Mrs Sicely said what set the dancing duo apart from competitors was their mindset.
“It’s attitude that makes them good dancers,” she said.
“And a willingness to learn and challenge themselves.”
Families of the pair are now rallying to raise funds to travel to the Scottish city to compete in 2018.
“The kids have done their part,” said Isaac’s mother Amanda Suckling. “Now we need to help get them there to compete.”
