Stewart was also picked as the senior jazz provincial runner-up.

Olyvia Olson-Brooks was chosen as the intermediate stage provincial runner-up from Surrey.

Junior 1 and Junior 2 “Sparkle, Jolly, Jingle” were the No Borders Group Challenge junior stage winners.

The Surrey Festival of Dance is the one of the largest amateur dance competition held in North America with over 10,000 dancers crossing its stage.

The festival small beginnings in 1966, now encompasses five weeks covering an array of dance disciplines.
