Sunday 23rd February, local dancers from Lane Dance Centres in Red
Lodge, had travelled to Bournemouth Pavilion to take part in a Ballroom
and Latin Competition, to qualify for the National Grand Finals held in
Blackpool Tower Ballroom in November.
The day included events in Ballroom, Latin and Sequence for children aged 4 to 16 years, and Lane Dance Centres waltzed away with top prizes. Sisters, Sophie and Rebecca Bush, had a double win, taking home two 1st places each; as did Lowri Davies who won 1st place in both of the Under 6 events and Olivia Stevens danced away with 1st place in the Under 8 Waltz. Laura Robinson, Emma Healey and Manon Davies all took home a 3rd place and other trophies; and Rebecca Cole and Lowri Davies won 2nd Place in their couples. In total Lane Dance Centres, who took pupils from Red Lodge, Royston and Haverhill, took home 45 trophies! Centre principal, Claire Thompson said “I was so proud of how all of the children danced, they had all worked so hard towards the competition.” Local dancers in Horringer tripped the light fantastic recently under the gaze of the MP for West Suffolk, Richard Spring. Mr Spring became interested in the dancers, who train with the Lane Dance Centres, when he read of their success at a recent Suffolk Open competition. On that occasion they waltzed away with first place in an open invitation team match, as well as amassing an array of trophies in individual events. Ronnie Walford, the Horringer centre principal was delighted with their recent results, “Pupils from our Haverhill, Newmarket and Royston Centres took part and we were thrilled with their results. Our classes in Horringer are quite new, but already the children and teenagers who attend are preparing for their first exams and looking forward to getting out on the competition floor” The Director of the Lane Dance Centres, Marion Lane was also very pleased to welcome Mr Spring to see the classes. “The development of dance education and in particular, teaching qualifications is a current issue” she said, “ Government recognition, through the QCA, has been given to new ISTD examinations, and the quality of this training shows in our teachers and their pupils”  |
