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.

A massive weekend in New Plymouth at the NZ champs and supporting events.

Some large groups, lots of mental strength was required to overcome emotions. However they made it out the other side.

Well done girls!
Small improvements will lead to the end goal and all 3 of you showed determination and strength over the weekend.
