PORTSLADE 2008
The first bank holiday in May turned out to be a fantastic day in
all senses. The sun had finally come out after months of hiding and
you could feel the summer warmth in the air. In addition DanceRite
was going to have a great day.
Due to personal and medical reasons, a few DanceRite pupils had to
withdraw at the last minute. We wish them well and hope to see them
back soon.

The school has grown since last year and there were a few new faces
on the scene wanting to make their mark; Dan & Catherine, students
from Guildford; Amanda and her sister Amber from Camberley; Jeanette
& Sandy from Basingstoke.
In order to cope with increased demand for lessons, DanceRite has
teamed up with a former dance partner of Vicki. Jonathan Morrison is an ISTD-Licentiate qualified teacher
who has a vast amount of medal
experience and has competed on the open competition circuit from a
young age.
This year the dances had changed slightly from the norm. There
was Paso in the Bronze section and Viennese Waltz in Gold. All
pupils had worked very hard for the event and it paid dividends at
the end of the day.
19 dancers entered in their respective grades and a few of them
partnered up in the couples event.
At the end of the day DanceRite was proud to leave with the
following results:
Sandy winning her Ballroom
|
13 winners
7 runners up
4 thirds
It is important to note everyone had good results from semi finals
to finalists.
It is by far the best ever result achieved by the school and the
Principals, Fredric & Vicki were very pleased. With anticipation
DanceRite looks forward to the next event at Berkhamsted.
-Bring it on!
