Spring has sprung and the first Sunday in March always heralds our own competition at the lovely Kirkby Leisure Centre. It is a favourite of Boris and the Bear team as not only do they get special reserved seating but they also get to see everyone, as we have a full school turnout for this event. A report from the Mystery Blogger will follow, who will it be this time? As always people have different goals whether that be getting a recall, making a final, doing better than last time or even just dancing better under the pressure of an event. However in today’s role of honour there were first places for:
In the ballroom events: Rosie, Kaitlyn, Paige, Heather, Carol, Peter, Craig, Neil, Grace P and Alisha Rose. In the Sequence events: Rosie, Olivia, Tabatha, Craig, Karen and Heather. Whilst in the Latin events: Tabatha, Paige, Lisa, Peter, Craig, Paul, Neil, Grace P and Sophie.
In the couples events there were wins for Tabatha & Kaitlyn, Paul & Karen and Craig & Grace and then in the Adult and Child CCC under 12 years section, Paul & Olivia were the only couple from the school to make the final. In the over 12 year section we had a better showing with Emily & Chloe winning and Craig & Megan, Karly & Tabatha and Charlotte & Brooke filling places second, third and fourth in that order.
Of course thank you to all our helpers both the professionals and those who partner as well as competing: Luke, Ruth, Liam, Grace P, Craig, Charlotte, Emily, Stuart, Andrea, Paul, Karen and Grace S. Alongside our support team of Julie for Scrutineering, Andrew for the music, Auntie Joan for ticket collecting, Jean & Beverley for door duty and Rob & Debbie on the raffle. Finally for those who come along to support your contribution is amazing and valued by the competitors. It’s a real team effort and one which we can all be proud to share in.
Thought it was a fun and varied day, thank you for organising it and for Grace, Lisa and Andrea for dancing with me. Nice to have some Paso, which we don’t get very often! Hope enough tokens were collected to save the hedgehogs. Thought the DJ was hot, think he would make good husband material…
Was a lovely day to dance and socialise with everyone, some who you only see like ships passing in the night. Thanks to Charlotte, Luke, Ruth, Paul and Robert for partnering Fearn and me. Last but not least whoever chose Take That for over 50
the cha cha cha final you are my favourite person ever lol 😀
