THE RIVETING RUMBA, the pulsating paso doble, the charming cha cha, the sensual samba and the joyous jive filled the halls of The St Leonards Boys’ School auditorium last weekend as different categories were judged in the 13th annual Stars Of The Future Competition.
Not only were Latin styles on display but ballroom styles of waltz, tango, foxtrot and quickstep.
The juveniles, youths and juniors showed their finesse and flair with some fancy footwork.
Ballroom Juniors Bronze was an exciting category and the more experienced dancers showed their versatility. When the judges tallied, Antonio Farrell and Zoe Trotman topped the list in the waltz, foxtrot and quickstep. Second were Delano Wickham and Kaila Bovell-Lewis and third, Rashad Wickham and Chante White.
Wickham and Trotman placed first in the Latin Juniors Silver. Second and third were Kyle Brathwaite and Tiffany Lynch and Farrell and Mariah Greenidge, respectively.
In the Latin Juvenile Pre-Bronze, Azario Grannum and partner Makayla Morris were first, besting Tyriq Husbands and Tarika Husbands, who placed second. (NS)
