Inspire Dance Championship success
Our Starshine Elite team dancers have had more success this month winning a host of prizes...
The dancers competed at the Inspire Dance Championships in Grangemouth. Rather than competing in their usual group and team categories, they had the opportunity to perform solos, duets and small groups. Some of the dancers had their routines especially choreographed for the event and had a few intensive rehearsals as well as putting in a lot of personal practice. Little dancer Charlie also competed with a lyrical solo he had choreographed himself for a competition in July, and a ballet solo from the same event.
Congratulations to all the dancers who competed as they all did extremely well:
- Mini Lyrical: Charlie Fleming SECOND
- Teen 1 Lyrical: Iana Phillips FIRST / Abbie Garmany FOURTH
- Teen 2 Lyrical: Sarah Firth FIRST
- Teen Jazz: Zoe Young FIRST / Ellie Stenton FIFTH
- Mini Open: Charlie Fleming (Ballet) FOURTH
- Teen Open: Iana Phillips (Acro) FIRST
- Teen Lyrical Duets: Sarah Firth and Ellie Stenton FIRST
- Teen Jazz Duets: Zoe Young and Rosie Collier FIRST
- Teen Open Duets: Sara McDonald and Zoe Young SECOND

We have a special mention for Iana and Sarah who were also awarded 'Golden Tickets' by the judges for outstanding performances. Iana also won a social media competition run by the event organisers!
The team are now working on group routines ahead of a busy 2019 competition schedule. Great work everyone.
