The Citizen, 2012-09-06, Page 10PAGE 10. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2012.McGavin captures multiple medal finishes in dancingContinued from page 9do with them in every show. “I love my instructors,” she said.“They really helped me out.”Shannon explained that Teegan
had some confidence issues when
she first started and that the
instructors have really helped her out
along the way.
“They’re so positive and
encouraging,” She said. “They really
helped her relax which has let her
focus on her dancing.”
Next year Teegan will be trying
her hand at lyrical dancing and make
one of her solos a lyrical
performance.
“Lyrical solos more tell a story
than the jazz she has done,” Shannon
explained. “It’s a more graceful kind
of dance but it’s also a little slower
and not as happy as contemporary.”
For people wanting to get involved
in dancing, Teegan said the key is to
not get frustrated and to persevere.
“You have to keep trying even if
you think you can’t do it,” she said.
“You have to keep going, practise
hard and memorize the dances.”
Practice is something that Teegan
definitely has down according to her
mother. While she officially
practises three times a week, she can
usually be found working on her
moves and steps at pretty much
anytime at home.
“She will practise her tricks and
handstands and moves everywhere
in the house,” Shannon said. “She
will be dancing in the kitchen and
doing leg stretches all the time.
The practicing has even started to
affect some other parts of her home
life, Teegan said with a smile.
“My brother ends up yelling at mewhen I’m doing handstands andwatching TV and I’m in the way,”she said. “I also walk on my handsthroughout the house to keep able to
do it.”
Shannon said she was impressed
with how quickly and how well
Teegan has taken to the activity and
said that her daughter had a great
year.
“We had a great year and we’re
thankful for that; she got most
improved dancer at her studio and it
was a definite improvement from
when she started,” she said.
“I went from not stretching well
and not having flow and there was a
complete change, in a good way,”
Teegan said. “I even won a half-full
scholarship for a summer program.”
The five competitions that she
competed in this year consisted of
four open competitions and a
national competition which required
her to place in an earlier
competition.
Next year she plans on performing
two solo dances, one in a duet and
two group dances.
This year she earned the following
trophies:
• Second highest score for an
overall solo at the Shine competition
• First place for acrobatic solo at
the Shine competition
• Third highest overall score at the
Dance Canada Competition
• Third overall for solos at the
Kick it Up competition
• Runner up for Miss Shine with
her acrobatic performance called
Blackbird.
• Overall pre-competitive soloist
for 2012 at the Star Beat
competition.
• Her studio won second overall
studio at the Shine competition
• Seventh highest score overall for
jazz solo at the National competition
The national competition was held
in Deerhurst at the Deerhurst Resort
and Teegan said that the experience
was a unique one.
“It was really cool, we danced and
there were parties with MuchMusic
screens and swimming and then
we had master dance classes
from the judge,” she said. “They
were really nice.”
She said that the three judges each
taught them a style of dance during
their five hours of training;
lyrical, contemporary funk and
broadway.
“It was pretty extensive training,”
she said

Next week a television crew from
Rediscovering Canada will descend
on Seaforth and Brussels, bringing
Christopher Cooper, a man who has
been in the television industry for 22
years, to Huron East.
As reported last week, the
ibroadcast Public Internet Television
(IBITV) series Rediscovering
Canada was originally scheduled to
be in Seaforth next week to film a
segment, but after hearing Huron
East Economic Development Officer
Jan Hawley’s enthusiasm about the
municipality as a whole Cooper was
convinced to dig deeper.
“Jan and her exuberance about her
community really caught my
attention and the [attention of the]
other producers,” Cooper said in an
e-mail to The Citizen. “In these
times it is hard to find somebody
who is as community-minded and as
excited about their community as
Jan is.
“Really, it has been Jan’s amazing
exuberance and excitement that has
made us interested – however,
Seaforth and Brussels are not new to
us. They are towns we have visited
many times on the road less
travelled – which the show is about –
the towns that need the focus of a
show such as this.”
Cooper said he was first attracted
to the idea due to a Facebook post by
Hawley on the page of another one
of Cooper’s shows, Heritage Places.
“A Facebook post had popped up
in the timeline (through the
Architectural Conservancy of
Ontario) about Seaforth (a short
video) and Jan was the person who
made the original post,” Cooper
said. “I congratulated her on the
municipality’s forward-thinking in
heritage preservation. Jan had then
approached us about possibly
shooting a segment for
Rediscovering Canada.”
When Cooper arrives (he and his
crew are scheduled to be in Seaforth
and Brussels on Sept. 15-16) he says
they won’t waste any time.
“We will get right to work –
documenting the place through the
lens – as well as trying to find a few
interesting stories – a man-on-the-
street style of interview will be held
to ask people what makes their
community the greatest place to live,
work and play.”
Since Cooper is the producer, as
well as the host, of the series, he
says viewers will see the
communities through his eyes. He
says the process of his crew is to
almost work on a backwards
schedule from most television
shows. He says he shoots footage
first and write the scripts later.
Cooper says every episode of
Rediscovering Canada is different
and that the Huron East episode may
just offer a new perspective of the
communities that people have never
seen before.
“We never know how the show
will pull together until it is shot –
each show is different from the
next – however the main theme is to
promote Canada as the best place in
the world to visit, explore and to
live,” Cooper said. “[People] will
have to wait and watch the show to
find out – the show is not your same
old tourism-based show – it is the
places that never seem to get the
attention that they so deserve.”
The Seaforth/Brussels episode of
the show is scheduled to air
sometime in 2013.
