Though short in height, they have made pretty big achievements so far.

They took the No. 1 position in the Juvenile CSRJ Latin category of the 2017 Hampshire Dance Festival held on October 8, 2017.

Also, they ranked second in the Blackpool Dance Festival, the world's first and most famous annual ballroom dance competition of international significance held in England since 1920, and were later chosen as the elite dancing performers for DSI London, the world's leading retailer and wholesaler of ballroom dance.

“Every time I dance on the stage, I feel very proud and excited. I work hard in the daily training and long for the acknowledgment of most audiences,” said Sui.

“Family means much to me. My father now works as a chef in another city of Ireland, aiming to make more money to keep me going while my mother is a full-time housewife, doing all she can to support me. I want to dance better in the future and relieve them with my bright records,” she added.
