Feet have been tapping, pointing and kicking for four days at the Ashburton National and Highland Dancing championships this month at the Ashburton Event Centre.
More than 240 highland, Irish and sailor hornpipe dancers from around New Zealand competed for sashes, trophies and national rankings.
About 20 members of the Julie Hawke School of Dance from Ashburton were among competitors.
Two members achieved national rankings. Britney Moore won runner-up to champion with a second ranking in the 18 and over age group and Leah Maw won 9th ranking in the under 18 age group.
Committee member Bridget Prendergast said mid way through the competitions the event was going well and everyone was enjoying themselves.
