Beerwah State High School’s dance group has made a stunning start to the 2025 eisteddfod season, claiming a string of top honours at the Sunshine Coast Dance Eisteddfod.
Beerwah Dance Company (BDC) students placed in every routine they performed, taking home firsts in Jazz B, Musical Theatre B and Lyrical A, and multiple second and fourth placings across jazz, contemporary, hip hop and lyrical categories.
Senior students also shone with self-choreographed solos. Taylah G took first in contemporary, while Jasmine H placed second in up-tempo. Lylah C, Lily S, Mahalia D and Jasmine H also placed in the top five.
Capping off the three-day event, BDC’s Senior Lyrical routine received a perfect score of 100/100 — one of only two awarded across the entire competition.
Year 11 student from the BDC, Indee McManus praised the locally run eisteddfod. “It’s our favourite competition of the year, and it’s always a memorable experience,” she said.
Beerwah SHS senior dance teacher, Jessica Rossberg, said she was thrilled with how the BDC performed.
“I’m proud of how far these kids have come and look forward to seeing them grow even more this year,” she said.
The BDC’s next eisteddfod of the season is the Ipswich Junior eisteddfod which will be held in June.
