Student is Waltz champion
		Second year IB student, Taisija Sifrina, has won first place in the Novice Waltz in an university 
		dance competition!
		
		Alongside her dance partner, Oxford University student Latt Mansor, they also took second place in 
		Novice Quickstep and made five rounds ending in the semi-finals in Latin. The inter-university dance 
		competition was held in Sheffield and organised by the 
Inter Varsity Dance Association (IVDA).
		
		Taisija is from Lithuania and used to compete in the open championships organised by International Dance 
		Sport Federation (IDSF). 
		
		The Inter Varsity Dance Association was set up in 1962 to promote Ballroom and Latin American dancing 
		within universities and to raise the standard of dancing amongst students.

		We're proud to have many talented dancers at St. Clare's, indeed Dancesport is an activity which the College 
		provides as part of the 
CAS element of the IB Diploma.
