Dance Centre in Melfort commented that she has seen the level of dance
increase at Dance Mania all three years that her studio has
participated at Dance Mania. Brad Harley, Dance Mania
co-ordinator agreed, adding that this wouldn't be possible without the
high quality instruction that is provided to these young dancers by
their instructors. The choreography, costumes and music
selection was superb, as this part of the province is home to many of
the best young dancers in Saskatchewan.
