Such a memorable weekend at the Sdta North American Scholarships and Conference in Winnipeg.

Millie and Piper were nominated from dance exams to participate in the Scholarships.

In just one month from returning from Scotland, these 2 worked super hard on a solo choreography, theory, and the Tribute to JL dance to prepare for the SDTA NA Scholarships.

Special congratulations to Millie who was 2nd overall in the Juvenile section.

For the Sdta NA Paulina McMaster Memorial Choreography Challenge
Millie placed 1st overall in the 11 yrs solo qualifier and 2nd overall in the Juvenile Section.

This was Millie’s first time participating in the Sdta Scholarships and Choreography Challenge. Amazing! 💙

Congratulations also to Piper who placed 1st overall in the 14 yrs solo qualifier and 3rd overall in the Senior section (14yrs +) of the SDTA NA Paulina McMaster Memorial Choreography Challenge. 💜

Beautiful dancing Millie and Piper!
You both sparkled ✨

Thank you to all the organizers and lecturers for an amazing event!

Looking forward to next year!

Still wishing we were still in Scotland!

So much fun… and the weather was fabulous! ☀️

Loved the training, the competitions, and the downtime when everyone could just hang out together. Lots of laughs and memories made!
I also loved catching up with friends from around the World.

We had so much fun celebrating Lilly’s birthday in Dunoon again this year. We celebrated with a Percy Pig themed party and Lilly received an album filled with special letters from all her friends. 🥳

Millie, Piper, Brianna, Samantha, and Alyssa all received their recent Championship win certificates from Christine Lacey.
Very special 💙💜💚🩵❤️

So proud of everyone!

The trip finished with Brianna 💚 and Samantha 🩵 both finishing in the top 10 in the Junior, and Adult World Highland Dancing Championships, respectively!

Millie 💙 had a great day at Birnam Highland Games to finish off her month long trip in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Looking forward to a new dance season starting September 12th.
