Lovely drive over to Taranaki, ready for a 2pm start.
Lily and the beginners started off, four dances in a row...
Eden then followed doing all four of her dances in a row, while I changed Lily into her aboyne (but didn't miss watching a dance)! Eden's first time dancing out the sword...success! No kicks or anything :) She was super proud.
Primary prizegiving before the beginner national dances, Eden with four medals and a rainbow umbrella.
Lily did very well in her national dances, 1st Lilt and 2nd Flora, also two thirds, a fourth and a fifth, resulting in runner up beginner section! A sash and waiting on stage for the entire prizegiving! Here's the full lineup of winners
And the winners photo
It's about 9pm at this stage! Well done girls!
Alexandra won most points, must have had something to do with her new aboyne outfit, chosen especially for her by the late, lovely Julie.
Soooooo thankful I'd decided to find a hotel instead of driving home (which would have been fine at 7, not 10pm though!) Would totally recommend the Devon Hotel, will stay there on every trip from now on...next ones September, and it's NOT for dancing!!!
