Boris barely had time to unpack his sunshades and swimsuit before he was back in action at our Sequence competition at Chesterfield. He does enjoy this event however as he gets to sit on the stage and gets a good view of proceedings.
We had a good turnout from the school with regular competitors, Josh & Grace, Stuart & Andrea, Carla & Neil, Chris & Lisa joined by Charlotte and Emily who danced at this event last year. We also witnessed the welcome return of Craig & Emma after a period of enforced absence.
We also had a good turnout from other school members to support the competitors and participate in the social dancing which is a feature of this event. There was a great atmosphere throughout the day and, for the competitors, the added support inspired them to greater performances. There were wins in both their events for Josh & Grace. Stuart & Andrea were placed second in both of their events closely followed by Neil & Carla in third place. Chris & Lisa won one of their events and were second in the other. Charlotte & Emily were placed a highly creditable second in their two events whilst Craig & Emma danced well in their first event together for over a year to finish in third place in both of their events.
A highlight of the day is the fun Sindy Swing event where the non competitors team up with the competitors. As usual it was the largest event of the day producing some interesting partnerships. Julie P, Andrew and Beverley made the final of this event from about 30 couples who took to floor, Beverley finishing third, Julie P in fourth and Andrew in sixth place with their respective partners.
A fun day all around then and a great way to kick start the Autumn term.
