Jason is Folk Festival's step dance champ

Jason Rice beat 15 other contenders at the Step Dance Championship held at the Dartmoor Folk Festival to take home both trophies.

Jason, originally from Copplestone, who lives and works in Exeter, said that he has been step dancing since he was in his late teens.

He previously won in 2001 and 2010 and was delighted to take the title again at the weekend.

Some years ago Jason travelled to the USA to demonstrate the traditional dance which is danced on a 15 inch square step, with a routine similar to line dancing.

Jason is also a member of the Dartmoor Pixie Band.
