Here is the round up for Friday 11th March at the Dance World Cup Qualifiers in Jersey!
Childrens’ modern solos:
Lily Reid received the highest Guernsey qualifying mark in the girls’ category, and will be dancing at finals! Ewan Mauger (in the separate boys’ section) received a gold medal for his solo, and will also be dancing at finals! Rebekah Le Friec performed beautifully in a dance that was extremely technically challenging with lots of turns and leaps, and received a good qualifying mark. Clemmie Reid was the first competitor in her section of 40 dancers (therefore the youngest dancer), and really held her own against other, older girls.
Junior duet/trio:
Olivia Le Friec & Jessica Quittenden danced a duet to “How To Save A Life”, and were the top Guernsey qualifiers – and made it through to finals! To get through to finals in the upper age categories is no mean feat, and the girls should be extremely proud of themselves for this achievement – I know I am!
Children duet/trio:
Rebekah Le Friec, Giorgia Phillips & Lily Reid danced a trio to “Thousand Years” (which proved to be a popular song at these qualifiers!), and won a silver medal for their efforts! They will also be dancing at the finals in June.
Children group modern:
Finally, at the end of the evening as I was finishing off teaching, I received a message that my group modern piece, “He Lives In You” had won a GOLD medal, of course through to the finals, and had been invited by the judges to perform at their gala evening on Saturday night! Unfortunately 3 of the girls could not change their flights last minute as they were all booked up until Monday morning, but just the fact that they had been invited is compliment enough!
