Manisha, 10, took top prize in the open age individual dancing competition, with Ennah finishing in third spot. Both girls were given trophies by celebrity judge Jimmi Harkinshin, who plays Coronation Street character Dev Alahan.
Manisha's proud dad, Mohammad Sajjad, said: "She has always loved Bollywood and is always working on dances she's seen in the movies, so it's great that people are now commenting on how well she's doing."
Little Ennah, who aged just eight years old, was one of the youngest competitors at the event, said: "I took up dancing to make lots of new friends and its been great fun."
