Smoke Dance Champs at the Mohawk Social
Congratulations to our smoke dancers who participated in Mohawk College's competition at their annual social. Everyone who participated did a fine job, really "giving 'er" and showing what JC Hill students are made of. Of our bold and brave participants, three placed in their categories. Randy H. placed third, Dallas J. placed second, and Christina H. took first place honours in a tough field that needed a dance off to determine the winner. For more info, click here.
