The only Singaporean who made it to the finals, Min Yi Kwok





Henrietta Ellice-Flint, finalist from Australia

These are just some of the winners and finalist.

Most of the finalist are from Australia! But, I'm really proud that Min Yi Kwok made it to the finals!

and

Claudia Dean, who won the gold medal, really deserved this.

Look at the picture!

only one word.

perfection.

once again, congrats Claudia!

and again, i missed it. sigh.

i bet next year's competition will be further than Singapore.

which means i won't be able to make it to that place.

sigh.

but, nevermind. i guess i'll just wait for the videos.

the contestants are all quite young. around 15 to 19 of age.

they are really talented!

and i'm sure it is an experience that they will never ever forget in their life!

and also it is a good platform to start off their career as professional dancers.

many notable ballerinas & ballet dancers had the genee experince when they were younger.

so, yea...these contestants will surely go far! =)
