The school had a total of 46 dance entries over the two days and managed to return home with 16 first places, five second places, eight third places and seven highly commended.
The four group entries all received placing for their entries:
- 1st Open Jazz
- 1st 14 years Jazz
- 1st 14 years lyrical
- 2nd Open Lyrical
Studio owner Simone Burrows said it was one of the best competitions the studio had been to this year.
"We are so proud of all of our students, some of the sections had 15-20 competitors in them and all our students really stepped up to get the places we received" Simone told us.
"Special mention to Miss Steph who won every single one of her routines, an achieved nearly full marks".
21 year old Stephanie Noble took out first place for six out of six of her solos entered, including two scores of 99 out of 100 for her acro and lyrical routine.
"It was another great eisteddfod, the competition in the open section for all of my solos was incredibly tough and I was nervous at first but once I got on stage for my first dance it became more enjoyable. I am over the moon with all of my placings and scores," Stephanie told The Singleton Argus.
The studio will now be preparing for their end of year concert set to be held on Sunday December 13 at the Singleton Civic Center.
