The event will be held at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon- Avon in England between July 22 and 30.
In February, Enslin competed in Pretoria at the World Lyrical Dance Federation Championship (WLDF) in which she finished first while competing in a duet with Sofia Bollo from St Mary.
She then went on to compete in Cape Town in May, also at a WLDF event, where she placed first in a solo dance.
A dancer qualifies to compete for the first World Lyrical Dance Championships in England in a solo if they place in the top six during the South African leg.
Enslin is excited to be heading to England to do what she does best and to represent her country.
