May 12 – GNDO Completes Selection Of Gibraltar National Dance Team

Written by YGTV Team on .

The Gibraltar National Dance Organisation has selected the Gibraltar National Dance Team that will compete at the forthcoming IDO European Show Dance Championships that will be held in Gibraltar in October 2015.

The GNDO organised the Gibraltar National Championships over three days at the John Mackintosh Hall Theatre and saw the participation of over 100 local dancers from six local dance schools. The adjudication was carried out by IDO international judges Desiree Demianenko from South Africa, Mimi Marcac Mirceta from Slovenia and Italian IDO Vice President Edilio Pagano.

The championships followed the same procedure of national competitions as accredited by the world governing body, the International Dance Organisation and saw 93 dancers qualifying in the Children, Junior and Adult divisions and in the Solo, Duet and Groups sections.

GNDO President, Seamus Byrne said,

‘We are delighted with the Dance Nationals and very pleased with the professional adjudication carried by IDO dance experts. We are very happy and grateful with the support we have received from our local dance schools that have participated in our event.

“The qualified dancers have now gained entry to compete at the IDO European Show Dance Championships that will be staged in Gibraltar in October 2015. This will be a unique opportunity for our local dancers to compete at the prestigious IDO event in our homeland.

“For this I need to thank Her Majesty’s Government of Gibraltar that has whole heartedly supported our 2015 tourism led event and may the Dance Nationals be the start of a beautiful experience for everyone involved in this European Championships project.”

The IDO European Championships will take place at the Tercentenary Sports Hall between the 1st and 4th October 2015. The dancers that have qualified from the Dance Nationals will join those dancers already selected for the Formation section, and are now the 2015 Gibraltar National Dance Team. A full announcement of the National Team will be released shortly.
