Amelia Ryan, 11, of the Clarence River Dance Academy, won 2nd place in the Intermediate Ballet Championship, part of the Lismore Musical Festival Society Eisteddfod.
THE Lismore Musical Festival Society wrapped up its 90th eisteddfod competition at the Lismore City Hall yesterday.
Festival society secretary Val Axtens said the successful event, which started on September 6, had been beautiful to watch.
“We've had a beautiful time and it has been a beautiful festival,” Mrs Axtens said.
“We had three extra days of competition to last year, so the festival continues to grow in strength and numbers.”
Mrs Axtens said audience numbers had been a little stifled by rain, but there had been a great turnout for the dance troupes last weekend.
“An audience does something,” she said.
“Something magic happens and the more the audience gives, the more the performers give, and sometimes it comes together so well it gives you goose bumps.”
Dance adjudicator Lydia Cagney-Morris said she had been particularly impressed with the ballet and troupe sections.
“I've been really impressed by the standard of dancing and obviously there are some fabulous teachers here,” Ms Cagney-Morris said.
“Some of the ballet has been lovely and the troupes were most impressive.”
Ms Cagney-Morris said she was also extremely impressed by the loyalty and hard work of the festival committee, which continued to make each year a success.
