The Shine Dance Competition, held at the Capital Theatre April 9th and 10th, was a great success!! All the competitors danced well and had fun!! The competition was well run and the scores were close. 11 of our 46 dances scored less than 2 % away from the top score of the entire competition. I am so proud of all the dancers!!
