We’re delighted to announce that the Hayley Nadine Dance Academy has won the Group Dance-Off competition at this years Raunds Musical Festival.

Dancing to Jai Ho the dancers put on a great performance which was full of energy, expresssion and enjoyment and their effort was handsomely rewarded with the 1st place trophy.

In awarding the trophy, the judges commented that the decision was a unanimous one and that they thought the dance was ‘excellent and powerful’ and that all of the dancers ‘attacked it’. The judges also particularly liked the fact that everbody was smiling and looking up and that they were all in time.

The Hayley Nadine Dance Academy entered 15 acts into the competition in total, 10 in the Groups category and 5 in the solo category Whilst there could only be one winner in each category the standard of all the acts taking part was extremely high and all of the competitors did a fantastic job. Well done to everyone that took part!

With support from the Northamptonshire Community Foundation and BBC Radio Northamptonshire, Raunds Festival will hold its second Dance-off competition at the Saxon Hall this year and we will be taking part.

The Dance-off will take place from 1:00pm to 3:00pm on Saturday 7th May in the Saxon Hall.

It is open to young people, as dance groups or as individuals, performing dances of all styles
‘from Swan Lake to Street’.

The Dance-Off is first and foremost a fun experience as well as a chance for young people to show off their talents and, perhaps, win the dance-off.

Groups and individuals will be judged separately with the winning group receiving a trophy.

Depending on the number of entrants there may be more than one round. A panel of Judges will be watching each entry and will decide who will progress into the next round.

Competition entry is FREE, £1 to watch.
