ATTITUDE Dance Coffs Harbour students have enjoyed success at National Australian Physie and Dance Association (APDA) competitions in Sydney and Port Macquarie.
Principal Teacher Leanne Maguire said the results reflect the competitors’ perseverance and dedication.
Members learn four to six choreographed routines throughout the year, which focus on movement, musicality, technique, performance, flexibility, cardio and strength.
Competing in Sydney in the Ladies Nationals Over 60s Masters, Lee Hill placed 3rd.
In the Novice (13-15), Elsie Martin placed 5th.
Qualifying in the top 12 in Australia were Katie Preo in Open Advanced Ladies, Taylah Nicotera in Intermediate Senior and Christie Hill in the Open Elite Senior.
They will now go on to compete at the Nationals in Darling Harbour.
At the Junior Qualifiers competition in Port Macquarie, six-year-old Nora Venn, nine-year-old Piper Hoschke, 11-year-old Kalani Vigors and 12-year-old Pippa Tucker, were also successful in securing a place at the November Nationals.
In the group events, the Years 11/12 team were the North West/North Coast champions and the Years 5/6 and Years 7/8 teams won 3rd place.
“Dance, passion and confidence is our motto, and we strive to bring out the best in all our students,” Ms Maguire said.
“We believe in nurturing a lifelong passion for dance in a safe inclusive environment for all ages and abilities, from two years to 102-years-old, beginner ladies to elite.”
Attitude Dance is having an end of year concert on 6 December at Narranga school hall at 10am, “which is free for anyone who would like to see what we are all about”.
