| Krakowiak |
Salem
did extremely well at the PNDA Restricted and Impromptu Competitions
over the weekend. It was his first lot of competitions this year so
it was a nice way to get back into it.
It was a long weekend and Salem was very tired by the end as he had seven dances on Sunday, the final day.
 |
| Robin Hood |
He had entered the impromptu dances along with many of his own dances, all
of which he had choreographed himself.
He
also debuted his new demi-character dance “Robin Hood” which was
well received and got a first placing.
This
dance is absolutely hilarious and I think it took everyone by
surprise.
 |
| Ballet Impromptu |
Salem
also was awarded first place for his Krakowiak national character
dance and the trophy also for highest marks for national character.
He was thrilled as he had spent a lot of time researching and then choreographing this dance.

| Salem and Della - Waikanae Dance School |
Salem really enjoyed having other dancers from his dance school there and being able to watch them perform, some for the first time on a big stage.
He
has more competitions coming up, Rosewood next weekend and then DanceArt the weekend after that. Then he has a short break with lots more planned.
It's busy, busy, busy!!!!!!!!!!
