Port Hardy dancers Jerzie Cheetham, 9, left, and Abigail McCorquodale, 10, travelled to Simon Fraser University last week to participate in the BC Highland Dancing Closed Provincial Championships. Cheetham placed 6th in the Highland Fling, Sword Dance and Seann Truibhas, to attain a 5th Runner Up placing overall in the 7 & under 10 years Championship. McCorquodale placed 4th in the Sword Dance and 5th in the Strathspey and Half Tulloch to attain an overall placing of 5th Runner Up in the 10 & 11 years Championship. Teacher Teresa Charlton said “I am terribly proud of both of them. They danced their best in some very difficult groups.” The two girls started dancing with Charlton when they were both there years old.
