Adjudicator’s Report
The newly established Bucks Dance Festival happened on Sunday 24th July 2011 at Chalfonts Community College which become an excellent venue. Set in a semi rural area with good parking facilities, a sizeable stage and very helpful and well organised stewards this looked a promising start. Expecting some hitches to happen on this one day festival, I am delighted to report there were none! Timing of classes was spot on, audience and dancers behaviour was great and the overall atmosphere was enjoyment and pleasure.
The standard was varied, mostly great and some really outstanding work from several dancers. Within the beginner 9yrs & under Gwenllian Minton (Leanne Hughes) danced a really stylish Contemporary solo scoring unusually for beginner an 85. Isabella Parsell (Jacqui Ison) performed beautifully gaining 1st place in Ballet Cheap Cleveland Indians Jersey , Song & Dance, National and Tap, for which she won highest mark of the festival with 88. Not to become outdone, her sister Inez won her Contemporary, National Cheap Colorado Rockies Jersey ,Song & Dance and Tap. Other notable performances were from Hannah Panksztelo & Marie Beveridge (Pink Academy) in a convincing presentation of their duet – “A mother cares for her sick child”, Ballet solo from Alexandra Willcocks (Sue Coles), Hannah Walker & Eve Bennett (Sue Coles) Tap duet, Bethany Cave (Jacqui Ison) Contemporary solo, Georgia Kemp & Alice Obergan (Pink Academy) Modern duet Cheap Detroit Tigers Jersey , Lily Hewitt & Gabriella Gee (Leanne Hughes), Lyrical duet. Especially promising and consistent work was presented by Marie Beveridge(Pink Academy) who won Lyrical, Modern, Character, Contemporary trio with Jordan West & Alice Oberidge and Modern Duet with Chloe Moss. Marie also won the prizewinners class Cheap Houston Astros Jersey , held at the end of the day with her Character solo. Runners up were Inez Parsell and Bethany Cave. The Hayers Cup went to Eldeca Marczin-Bundy (Pink Academy) for most promising dancer.
It was a very pleasing day and I really|truly should congratulate Rachel Kemp and Julia Ali for its successful first year. Attention to detail was admirable and I want them all the best for next year and hope that it continues to expand in entries. A pleasure to adjudicate.
