      Feet have been tapping, pointing and kicking for four days at the Ashburton National and Highland Dancing championships this month at the Ashburton Event Centre.

      More than 240 highland, Irish and sailor hornpipe dancers from around New Zealand competed for sashes, trophies and national rankings.

      About 20 members of the Julie Hawke School of Dance from Ashburton were among competitors.
