On Saturday, October 11, dancers Ella-Mae McInairne, Addison Northey, and Georgina Wallace journeyed to Coatbridge to take part in the Lanarkshire Thistle Competition.
All three girls performed brilliantly, bringing home a fantastic set of results.
Addison achieved an impressive range of placings from first to fifth, while Ella- Mae was awarded runner- up trophy in her novice age group.
Georgina also shone on the day, receiving runner-up trophy in her beginners age group.
Not content with just one competition that week, Ella-Mae and her mum Laura travelled north to Fort William on Thursday, October 16, to attend the Royal National Mòd Highland Dancing Competition.
