Dance fans have been dazzled my some fancy footwork this week.
Wanganui Competitions Society's dance festival began on Wednesday and finishes today. Young dancers from throughout the central and lower North Island have been competing in a variety of ballet, tap and modern categories.
Organiser Eris Walker said the numbers for this festival were particularly good, with more than 350 entries received.
"That's well up on previous years," she said.
Mrs Walker said she was particularly pleased that eight dancers were competing in the National Ballet Award.
