Jaelan and Tiana, Solo Tap 17 years
Kirsten, Solo Tap 14 years (also earned 3rd for Solo Lyrical Jazz)
This was our first time entering more than just a few solos to compete in the Chilliwack Lions Club Music and Dance Festival and the consensus is that it was an excellent competition we’d love to participate in again (maybe even more fully) next year.
We’d like to give our deep collective thanks to all the wonderful volunteers without whom the festival could not have been the positive experience that it was.
And we thank all our competitors and their families too!
Congratulations to ALL our competitors (Families, please submit your photos – we’d love to post more of your memories) and we hope to see you Sunday at the 2016 Chilliwack Lions Club Music and Dance Festival Honours Performance!
