Thank you to everyone who supported our Easter raffle.

While all numbers weren’t sold, it needed to be done before Easter.

The winner was number 100.

Thank you dancers for your demonstration at the Ford Ranger Rural Games, we couldn’t have asked for better weather.

Sophie represented us today at the MRW competition.

She came away with some great placings however her biggest achievement was over coming being the only dancer there!

This shows how far Sophie has come, well done Sophie, a massive personal achievement

What an amazing day we had at the Turakina Highland Games yesterday.

Dancers dance fantastically all working on their own corrections.

Kenna, Isla and Zoe danced their first competition.

Hazel showed a large improvement.

Ada and Sophie both with great placings.

Special mention to Milly, who won Most Points Overall in her age group. Milly has shown great improvement, determination and resilience, from competing at competitions and not getting placed at all to starting the year with this great accomplishment.

Well done dancers, you all make me proud.
