We hope to see you dancing again soon."Izzy has acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. She first started treatment in 2017 and completed her treatment in May 2019.Her mother, Vicky Fletcher, said: "She's been through a really tough time the last few months, and it's something [the doctors] wanted to do for a while, but she's been so poorly, so it was a nice special treat for her.

Izzy spent some time in intensive care because of an infection but is "a lot better now" and back in school.Get well soon Izzy! We hope to see you dancing again soon ❤️
