Some of the very young dancers were having a little trouble remembering when to start. We had the first attempt, the adjudicator rang the bell as two didn't start. We had the second attempt, this time one failed to start so the adjudicator rang the bell. Third time, with the adjudicator all smiles and the music underway, one of the teachers in the audience stood up and gave them a loud "five, six, seven, eight" count-in and off they went!
Smiles all round and mission accomplished :)
