Dancing winner

Mason Freewater, 7, of Horsfield Bay has won the NSW State Highland Dancing Title on the weekend of March 12 and 13.

Competing in the beginner's category Mason was named the outright winner with two titles already under his belt in the Newcastle Title and Central Coast Title last month.

Mason's father Dr Peter Freewater said his son's performance in the State title was truly outstanding and has put him as a favourite as he trains for the Australasian and International Titles in July.

Mason led the way as the Central Coast dominated the State event.

Mr Freewater said it was promising to see results such as Mason's so early in the year as the dancers prepared themselves to take on the countries best in just over four months at the fifth International Highland Dancing Championships of Australia.

"This is the second year in a row that the Central Coast has taken maximum title wins at State."
