A spokesperson for Victoria Leisure in Southport said: “Isabella Clark was a beautiful dancer, friend, and human being. Just 21 years old, she was taken from us far too soon, and we are absolutely shocked, devastated, and heartbroken.
“Our love and deepest condolences go out to Isabella’s mum, Diane, and her family and friends. We are here for you always.

“All the staff at Victoria loved her dearly. She was an absolute joy to work with and brought light and laughter wherever she went.
“Beyond her incredible talent, Isabella was creative, hardworking, joyful, and kind. She taught Ballet, Yoga, Pilates, and Dance with such passion, and our members adored her classes.
“She had a gift for making everyone feel welcome — always taking the time to chat after each session with her friendly, easygoing nature.
“Isabella, you brought light, laughter, and beauty into our world, and your presence will be so deeply missed.
“RIP our beautiful, graceful dancing queen.
”A GoFundMe page has been set up in memory of Isabella Clark for those who wish to support her family at this heartbreaking time.”

“She will be missed by so many people. A lovely person in every way. Our heart goes out to her family at this devastating news.”Do you have a story for Stand Up For Southport? Do you need advertising, PR or media support? Please message Andrew Brown or email: mediaandrewbrown@gmail.com
