Brisbane Dance Centre - Achievements


		Brisbane Dance Centre (BDC) dancers in the junior elite program have placed in every section at recent Sunshine Coast, Brisbane and Gold Coast Eisteddfods. Our U12 dancers have won the U12 slow modern section at all Eisteddfods. The U12 classical groups took 2nd and 3rd at the Sunshine Coast and then took 1st and 3rd at both the Brisbane and Gold Coast Eisteddfod after only being together this year! Well done on such amazing results to such a committed and talented group of young dancers.

		The young U8 dancers won the slow modern group and took 3rd in the classical section of the Sunshine Coast Eisteddfod, then followed with another 3rd in the classical in the Brisbane Eisteddfod and they also received a VHC in an older age group for their slow modern. They followed this with 1st in the U8 Classical section of the Gold Coast Eisteddfod. The U15 dancers have also placed consistently in both their slow modern and classical dancers across all the eisteddfods.

		BDC students have also won many solo placings at Eisteddfods throughout South East Queensland. Isabella Elordi has won her classical ballet solo at three consecutive Eisteddfods and won all her solos taking 4 first places at the recent Redlands Eisteddfod, in the Classical, Demi Character, Neo Classical and Contemporary sections, receiving the award for Most Promising Solo Classical Ballet Dancer 12 yrs & under .
