I agree with Lildancer96.

 

Actually the Senior Section winner in my opinion deserved it! Also she won the Junior Class two years ago so is probably already under the ISTD radar. I also disagree that festivals are always looking for tricks and gymnastics as my daughter's festival modern solo is not a bit like that - very lyrical in fact and she has done very well with it - it's all down to the judges at the end of the day - but I have to say everyone who was on that stage yesterday deserved to be there.

 

We didn't watch the Juniors - can anyone fill me in on names?

When I mentioned we were surprised at the choice , of the over all junior winner , I was in no way suggesting that she did not deserve to win ! She was super !

I was siting next to a trainee adjudicator and we were trying to predict the results - we guessed the runner up , but were wrong about the winner ! That's why I say we were surprised .

There was also lovely little dancer - Yasmin Li who had the most wonderful facial expressions , but didn't get a mention !

 

Having said all that I saw no evidence that the adjudicators - who were different for each section - favoured Gymnastics .

 

All of the dancers were delightful and skilled and seemed to enjoy the classes very much , we were very impressed !

I would have liked to have understood more about the reasons for not awarding the boys overall winner , and why there was no boys winner for the seniors section though !

I knew the name Ava May Llewellyn 'rang a bell' - she has been in the press as the Taekwondo black belt who is going to White Lodge in September ;-)

Well well - so it is ! Come to think of it I was admiring her control in her dance !

Now Ii feel less bad about my DS specialising in Ballet when he is so good at modern !

I'm not criticising anyone's comments , just know that if my daughter had won, I wouldn't want her to read that people were surprised :)

 

Agree no criticism intended just voicing a personal opinion, the standard was its usual high level - the Adjudicators were different for each section and I'm sure none of them had an easy job and were spoilt for choice.

 

Did feel the boys were given a tough time this year though.  A little constructive feedback would have been helpful for them and their teachers.
