PRESENTATION dances at Boort District Health debutante ball on Friday night had a modern touch.
The 10 debutantes and their partners danced the Carousel to the Taylor Swift hit Love Story sung by Elias Lanyon.
Elias had co-ordinated the night’s music for the debutantes to dance before a packed memorial hall after their presentation to BDH representatives, CEO Donna Doyle and Carolyn Mc-Allister.
The debutante set had also learnt a modern dance to the song Footloose where they had choregraphed the dance with trainer Sherryn O’Flaherty. 
The flower girls and page boys also joined this modern dance and the Chicken Dance was included as part of the presentation dances. Other dances in the set were Killarney, Balmoral Blues and the  Pride of Erin.
The party’s official flower girl was Kiarah Young and page boy Emmanuel Vincy
Jess Lee was MC for the debutante set’s presentation.
One of the organisers, Brooke Chamberlain said: “It was a great social event with many people attending and dancing the night away and dance trainers Sherryn and Chris O’Flaherty were wonderful in preparing the girls and their partners.”
