They attained the following results:

These girls have been dancing since they were four years old and have a great love for this field.
Jordan and Shanelle first competed at the provincial round and South African Championships, before achieving the honour of representing the Green and Gold at the world championships.
Both girls have also received a one-month scholarship worth $5 000 (about R60 000) to attend American dance studio The Millennium Dance Complex in Los Angeles. – @SabeloBoksburg
