DANCE students from the South East, Western Victoria and Adelaide competed in the annual Mount Gambier Eisteddfod dance division recently.
Mount Gambier Eisteddfod dance director Tony Chalinor said he was pleased with the event’s success.
“Every year our dancers produce different routines,” he said.
“Producing such high quality performances every year is a credit to the dancers in addition to the choreographers and dance schools.
“The students should all be incredibly proud of what they have achieved this year and what they continue to achieve every year.”
