Local Dance Group Fit Kids/ Fit Teens are BACK WITH A BANG!!

After returning from the World Street Dance Championships in August the local group are celebrating Gold again. Last weekend sisters Emily and Molly Fitzgerald from local dance group Fit Kids/ Fit teens won the 1st place in the Spectrum Hip Hop Championships.  Emily (15) won first place in the 16 & under section while Molly (7), who was competing in her first competition, won first place in the 8 & under section.

 

SCOOPING AWARDS FOR IRELAND!!!

 

There was cheers and tears of joy as Jordan Nguyen was crowned World Street Dance Champion 2017 in Glasgow last month.  Jordan, along with a hundred and ten dancers and supporters from Fit Kids/Fit Teens Dance School in Lucan, Celbridge and Blanchardstown travelled to the event which saw around thirty countries battle it out for four days to claim the coveted title.

Speaking to the media after his victory the 17yr old said “Winning first place was honestly the best feeling in the world. Being able to represent my country against so many other countries was such an amazing experience. This moment can never be taken away from me. If it wasn’t for the support of my parents, and all my fellow Fit Kids/Fit Teens dancers and Instructors I wouldn’t have been able to get on to that stage and dance my heart out. That, and all the hard-work and training made this happen”.

 

Not only did Jordan triumph, but Fit Kids/Fit Teens brought home many awards. Fourteen-year old Hannah Kryzwda from Castletown along with her partner Aine Carolan were thrilled when they were ranked 5th in the world for their under16yrs Duos routine. “With hard work and support, anything can be done” said Hanna. Emily Fitzgerald, April Nolan and Claudia from Lucan were also celebrating as their Crew also achieved Finalist awards. The Fit Kids/Fit Teens Hip Hop Battle Crew also made it to the top four in the world so they were thrilled.

 

Last year, one of their young Dancers Gustas Geciauskas(8yrs old) brought back gold for Ireland in the Break Dance section so the School is delighted to return home victorious once again.

 

Lucan/Celbridge Instructor Ciara Moran is so proud of the School’s achievements. “The children and Instructors have worked so hard and were so proud to represent their country. It was extremely competitive and the standard was through the roof. They were wonderful Ambassadors. We are overwhelmed by the lovely letters of support from TD’s and Councillors, the media and public” she said.

 

LOCAL TV STARS: The term ahead is shaping up to be very exciting with a few members from the classes set to appear on our TV sets this Autumn.  Locals Aaron Price and Jake Kelly from the Lucan class will appear on a new magic show ‘Abra-kid-abra’ on RTE junior in the coming weeks.  Make sure to watch out for them.  Aaron Price learned a special magic trick by the magician Joe and performed alongside Joe as a mini magician in front of a live audience.  “Both Aaron and Jake thoroughly enjoyed the experience and are excited for their upcoming TV appearances” class director Ciara explains.  Fit Kids/ Fit Teens welcome new members to the class each week, which takes place in L.E.T.N.S every Friday.  Anyone looking for info can contact Ciara on 0863270357Local Dance Group Fit Kids/ Fit Teens are BACK WITH A BANG!!
