days to start preparing for each days competition, which started at 9:00
am and ended at 9:45 pm Saturday evening and at 4:00 pm Sunday when the
final group of dancers exited the stage. Excitement and enthusiasm

their first chance to perform this dance season. Appreciative
audiences of up to 350 were entertained with some dazzling performances
throughout the competition. Approximately 850 spectators took in
some part of Dance mania '03 over the two day event.
Paultette Puetz, owner/operator of the 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.
The adjudicator for Dance Mania '03 was Mrs. Carol Ann
Hanson from Eston, SK, a very respected member of the dance
community. Mrs. Hanson owns and operates dance studios in Eston
