Posted by John Denegri

What a great weekend at Blackpool competing in the Nationwide classical and modern sequence competition. Starting with a warm up on arrival on Friday at the tower ballroom.
The competition started early on the Saturday with our under 12 lady, who danced her modern sequence superbly, through the heats.
The adults commenced in the afternoon with their classical sequence with great vigor, moving through heats and into semi finals, we had one finalist with a 5th in the Veleta and a 5th in classical sequence.
Finishing quite late 10 o’clock for supper.
Sunday had both our stardance and under 12 young ladies competing in their classical sequence and again superb dancing from both through the heats.
Our additional needs young man achieving a 4th in his first Blackpool.
The adults again competed well in their modern sequence with improvement from last year, again recalls for all and a finalist reaching 5th in modern sequence.
Would like to say well done to all of the competitors.
Another late evening with a well deserved celebratory meal and drinks.
Now the work starts for next year 2020!

With competitors in many age groups and pupils learning the routines and practicing throughout the year the time to compete had arrived. For some it was their first visit and the splendour of the Winter gardens and the occasion was overwhelming.

An 8am early start on Saturday for the children’s modern sequence Under 12’s  partnership performed well and there were very proud parents, in the afternoon the adults took to the floor in the classical sequence competition in four age groups, all competitors danced well resulting in two finals and two trophies. For the mans over 50 a second place and the ladies over 50’s, sixth place.

The Sunday began with the repeated early call when our star dance competitor took to the floor, again performing very well with proud parents the reverse of Saturday children dancing their classical sequence all that hard work paid off with smiles they competed well against very strong competition an understanding and desire to improve for next year.

The adults turned to there modern sequence competition and again all performed very well with two finals reached the men’s over 50’s a third place and the ladies over 50’s a seventh place.

So a little tired on return but the desire to improve and return next year.
