After two and a half years of no dancing on stage due to the COVID-19 pandemic rules and regulations, the Love To Dance Academy competitive team had finally experienced the excitement of dancing under the bright lights on stage once again when they competed in the SHINE Dance Festival at Cleland Theatre in Penticton this past May.
The international adjudicator panel consisted of three judges, US, UK and Canada. Each adjudicator provided a mark out of 100 for each routine based on the following: skill, presentation, difficulty and artistry
“Each of our student’s dance journeys are unique and we are proud of our LTD students’ technical, artistic and personal achievements” said dance teachers, Lizette Nel and Vanessa van Rensburg.
