Jess Brunt, 14, and Jordan Rooke, 15, will compete at the national aerobics championships in Melbourne this weekend.

WARRNAMBOOL athlete Jess Brunt has her sights set on the world stage.

Jess, 14, will team up with Jordan Rooke at the FISAF national championships in the international stream junior mixed pairs section.

The aerobics and hip-hop competition starts in Melbourne tomorrow and runs until Sunday.

Jess and Jordan form part of the 44-member strong EKB Fitness and Aerobics squad, which includes four teams and two soloists in the international stream.

Those who finish in the top three of their international streams will be invited to compete at the world championships in Serbia in October.

It is a big trip but it would be worth it. Travelling overseas would help me and Jordan become better dancers, Jess said.

Jess and Jordan finished third at nationals last year but injury prevented them from travelling to the Netherlands for the world titles. Jess said she was confident they could push for a podium finish at the nationals this weekend.

I am excited and nervous at the same time, she said.
