• Australian DanceSport Championships 2024
What a wonderful experience it was travelling to Melbourne this past weekend for the Australian DanceSport Championships , held at Centrepiece. The competition spanned across 4 days and was the largest competition we’ve ever seen 😍
Bella & Lamar competed in the Juvenile age group, in Standard, Latin and New Vogue. While Oliver & Keeley competed in all three styles in the Adult C Grade competitions. Bella & Lamar also joined Keeley in the Coach/Student Juvenile events across the three styles.
🐝 Lamar made it through to the final in his Juvenile Lead Samba
🐝 The Juvenile Solo Samba saw 102 juveniles compete through 7 heats. Lamar ended up making it out of the first round and placing 42nd
🐝 Keeley & Bella danced in the Coach Student Standard semi final
🐝 Keeley & Lamar danced in the Coach Student Latin and New Vogue semi final
🐝 Bella made it through to the semi final of her Juvenile Follow Charmaine
🐝 Bella & Lamar came 12th out of 24 competitors in the Juvenile OPEN Paso Doble 😍
Lamar’s highlight of the weekend was seeing some oh his old friends from Tassie and watching his idol, dance the Professional Latin.
Bella was loving all the events and admiring all of the stunning Ballroom and Latin dresses. She took lots of inspiration for next year in Junior. She even went and spoke to a dancer whose dress she loved & was in awe when the lady was the “most lovely person ever”.
“We got to see some fantastic dancing across the two days that we attended! And we’re all so grateful for the experience it has given us. A massive thank you to everyone who helped us get here, both physically and in dancing. We’re so lucky to have you all!
My last competition with .robino is definitely one I won’t forget. Our partnership has meant so much to me and I wouldn’t be where I am today without him.
And to B&L, you two are going to do amazing things. Keep working hard. Your passion for dance will take you places.”
- Love Keeley xo
Until next time… 😘💃🏻
