When the all-fe­male dance group Danc­a­holix host­ed its vic­to­ry and ap­pre­ci­a­tion event on De­cem­ber 22, it was sup­posed to be any­thing but a par­ty. With so many young and tal­ent­ed ex­po­nents of that art form in at­ten­dance and the mu­sic to get them mov­ing, it was no sur­prise it be­came a non-stop dance af­fair. La Casa de Ibiza, on Tra­garete Road in Wood­brook, was the venue of choice for Danc­a­holix's vic­to­ry soiree. The group clinched vic­to­ry at the in­au­gur­al bmo­bile Dance-off Com­pe­ti­tion last month. The love­ly quar­tet, com­pris­ing La­toya Bushe, Stashelle George, Afiya Babb and Jen­niece John, im­pressed the judges and view­ers alike with siz­zling­ly-classy rou­tines.

Smack in the Yule­tide sea­son they called sup­port­ers and well-wish­ers to­geth­er to tell them some­thing spe­cial: Thank You! The tim­ing could not have been bet­ter. Sup­port­ers of Danc­a­holix turned out in their num­bers to cheer the dance princess­es. From ear­ly, every­one in­vest­ed with that true Tri­ni spir­it was foot­loose. Be­fore long, an ar­ray of dance styles filled the room for what turned in­to all-out dance-o-ra­ma, not on­ly be­tween crews, but in­di­vid­u­als, too.
