Dancers from all over BC, including eight students from Love To Dance Academy, competed in the virtual SHINE Dance Festival from May 28-30.
The SHINE Dance Festival usually happens every year in theatres in North Vancouver, Mission, Vernon and Penticton. Due to COVID-19, dancers this year could enter either through livestreamed events from their dance studios or by video submissions.
Dancers were entered in various categories, determined by level, age and discipline, and each dance was performed for three adjudicators.
Love To Dance Academy students won ten Gold medals and two Silver medals as well as ten special awards.
“Love To Dance students have fond memories of this virtual competitive experience,” said Love To Dance Instructor Lizette Nel.”
We are proud of our students who have risen to the incredible challenges of this time. They are passionate about dance and have learned the value and power of perseverance when you face obstacles. We are grateful for their parents continued support.”
