Gore dancers Joe-Jax Hohipa Kahuroa (16) and Rosemary
Alderton (14) brought home a staggering 23 firsts from the
Dunedin Dancesport Championships last week.
But the pair, who are Rachel's Studio of Dance pupils, are
not resting on their laurels.
They were already practising for their next competitions in
Christchurch - The Body Dancesport Championships on October
10 and the New Zealand Juvenile, Junior, Youth and Adult
national championships on October 24 and 25, dance studio
owner Rachel Ferguson said.
"They did really well," Mrs Ferguson said.
The pair moved from junior age division in April to the youth
and adult division.
Since being in the youth and adult division, they had been
upgraded and now compete in D/C grade. Mrs Ferguson said the
new grades were tougher for competitors.
Fellow pupils also brought home a whole host of placings from
the Dunedin competition, Mrs Ferguson said.
