The dancesport season started in July with 56 students making up the NX Dancesport Team. From the beginning of Term 3, students practised twice weekly, learning and perfecting four ballroom and Latin routines – Cha Cha Cha, Samba, Jive, and Rhythm Foxtrot. In November, the team attended the Interschool Dancesport Championships at Eventfinda Stadium. Once again, Northcross was a standout on the dance floor with 14 of our couples making it through to the finals. Kieran Fish and Bianca Bothma won the Points Cup for claiming two 1st places and two 2nd places. Top studio-level couple went to Raelene Li and Naomi Yu while Helena Hou and Stella Chen were the top registered couple. Asher Whitehead received “Most Dynamic Male Dancer”, Naomi Wangham was the “Most Dynamic Female Dancer”, while Yigu Ye was awarded “Most Promising Dancer”. These fantastic performances saw Northcross take out top school for the 5th year in a row. Miss Grant also won the Spirit of Sportsmanship trophy for organising this year’s competition. Special thanks goes to our amazing tutors – Angela and Kingsley Gainsford – who prepared our team for victory yet again.
