Brentwood, MO (KSDK) -- Two local ice skaters are preparing to head to Colorado for the National Solo Dance Championships.

The two 12-year-old girls competed in competitions throughout the summer and both earned enough points to gain them a spot in the Pre-Gold level at the championships. There are 18 skaters in each group level.

The championships are held in Colorado Springs from September 20-23, and include qualifying individual skaters from within the Eastern, Midwestern and Pacific Coast sections. 

NewsChannel 5 caught a glimpse of the girls practicing at the Brentwood Ice Arena on Tuesday. Watch the video in the player above to see them practicing their routines.
