Merritt dancers received a variety of medals at the Love to Dance Academy’s medal tests on Oct. 26.
The tests, which normally take place in June, were delayed this year because of immigration issues for the dance teacher.
The medal tests came as the members of the local dance school prepare for the community concert on Nov. 26 at the Civic Centre to kick off Country Christmas.
In all, 24 students completed 37 tests in disciplines including ballet, modern jazz and Spanish dancing.
Five dancers also received trophies for outstanding achievement: most improved dancer went to Megan Voigt; best achievement (ages four to seven) went to Madison Fleury; best achievement between eight and 11 went to Chantalle Anderson; best achievement for 12 and over to Hailee Harkies; and the trophy for her own choreography went to Miya Kandola.
Approximately 110 people attended the awards.
