Megan and Danie de Beer participated at the DMASA Dance Awards over the weekend of August 29.
Being new to this competition, it was a huge surprise when they achieved excellent results. Danie de Beer danced in a trio with his sister, Megan and his mom, Marina. They were awarded a Gold with 83%.
Megan participated in the following, and achieved these results: Modern – Gold 86%; Hip Hop – Gold 84%; Tap – 87% and Open Section – 81%.
Megan was also awarded her Federation Colours for Modern, Hip Hop and Tap, with an overall score of 80% and higher for all these dances. Megan was surprised when they asked her to dance on Sunday to qualify for the DMASA Dance Team. She danced and has made it into the team to travel to Florida in 2016. Congratulations Megan!
