Adjudicators can put down their pencils and stash the ribbons until next year and competitors can breathe a sigh of relief that it's over.

One parent said she was glad car-pooling was done and dusted for the year although she did believe the event was still fun for mums and dads as well.

Sarah Ward, of Cordeaux Heights, had her two daughters, aged seven and eight, in the competition, and had been "running around all week" for the various dance sections.

"We have a lovely team environment," she said. "It's fun here watching our friends and hanging out ... and watching your kids up on stage, there's nothing like it.

"The feeling you get watching them grow from tiny little babies skipping around the stage to actually getting some nice ballet technique developing.

"The confidence in their faces just shows, there's like a moment where everything clicks and they actually are performing."

Ms Ward explained confidence was the drawcard to put her eldest daughter, Georgia, into a dance school at age two, to bring her out of a shy shell.

"It really has ... she loves dance, she lives and breathes it and would sleep at the dance studio if I'd let her - she's at [Vanessa Lee's Dance Academy] six days a week at the moment," she said.

The hard work has paid off with several accolades for the youngster, including winning the Samaras Memorial Trophy for her Fast Tap Solo on Friday.
