The discipline was held recently, with 35 competitors taking part.
Eight were from Leeton, while others from from around the state, ACT and Victoria.
The organising committee were happy to see so many visitors to Leeton.
"We were impressed with the standard of competition and with the sportsmanship shown by all dancers," convenor Sally Doig said.
"All the competitors gave their very best performances.
"Adjudicator, Maureen Fyffe was pleased with the attendance and with the competitors' standard of dancing."
Mrs Fyffe held a workshop at the conclusion of the competition, providing an opportunity for the Leeton and visiting dancers to gain expert tuition from an experienced judge and teacher.
